...See more I have been supporting my mom for the past 4 years. My brother wanted her put in a home or assisted living facility. She wanted to stay in her house. I did whatever I could to help her achieve that. But now she's in need of more support. She talks about dying all of the time. She's so depressed and bored and lonely. Unfortunately my brother can't handle the stress so he doesn't support her. I love 1000 miles away and do all that I can to support her. I think it's time she move closer to me. She thinks it's time but she doesn't want to. It's *** trying to understand what she wants and then trying to support her desires. I want to travel and live my life. I don't want to be burdened by her yet I want her safe and happy. All she wants is to stay in her house but be closer to me. (Impossible!)

...See more I'm really unsure if I'm actually posting this correctly. I guess this pretty much sums up my life, always wanting more, always willing to try, and then...always terrified I've screwed something up.

...See more .....SCREAM!!!!!! My mother is suffering from some form of dementia - I get that and I accept that. The part that is too hard to accept is her inability to reason. Please send me good thoughts so that I can find the patience within me that she deserves.

...See more I just want to say that I gave someone with anxiety "hope" this morning. It felt so good to give back! It feels so good to have slept! I hope each of you are able to enjoy this new day. I know there are new challenges with each new day...but this one is NEW and I'm going to make sure I enjoy it too!

...See more I had a bad night's sleep so today has been kind of awful. (Not stay in bed all day but stay in pjs all day bad) I've unloaded my anxiety onto my husband- my positive, going to get me out of this problem husband- and now I've depressed him. My daughter called and hates her job that she NEEDS because she bought a house that was too expensive for her. I need her to sell this house- take a loss and let me out of this misery! Anyone have any advice?

Too Old To Make Mistakes

...See more It's nice to have found this group! My husband just retired in August ( which I wasn't ready for 😥) but I do think the decision that he made is at the very heart of my anxiety... MONEY and the LACK OF CONTROLLING IT. Though it was our decision, it's his life and how could I deny him that? But now my biggest fear has come true... lack of control over our future money. We just made a very expensive bad mistake and that's why I'm here. My panic comes in because it's a done deal... no fixing it...I just have to learn to live with it. These past few days of doing just that have been very difficult. I feel embarrassed because it's as if I was scammed... by me.
