Just got out of jail and my life is over.

Go talk to a mental health professional. This isn’t the place for that kind of advice.

I’ve been through that several times years ago, had my stomach pumped a few times too. Once they pumped blood for three days, damn near died. That sh#t ain’t no joke man, knee mail sent…

Still praying and hoping you are getting the help you need , brother.
Life is tough sometimes, you have to take it as it comes and try to make the best of things a lot of times.
For Christ’s sake, I pray things are going your way some and are better for you , brother.
I truly wish there was something I could do to help. I can’t even help myself sometimes. I have to depend on the wife and all for my needs and that dang sure doesn’t make you feel like a man.
Please, let us know how you are getting along .

I finally got my meds after court thr other day. Been off of them about two weeks. Dealing with afib today. Heart has been fluttering bad. Court was just about restraining order. Was ironic that it was the same room that we got married in. Her whole family showed up, but couldn't be bothered to help me when I needed help. Can't believe they are that evil and hated me this much.

I would love to hear the other side of this story.

I would love to hear the other side of this story.

The other side is made of things she has imagined and lies from her daughters that weren't there. When she was in sundowners mode,she could be violent and unpredictable. Lots of hallucinations . Sometimes didn't recognize me. Had an episode in the hospital where they had to give her Haldol and Ativan just to calm her down. Only time I left her overnight, the nurses said I looked like hell and needed to go home and rest. All I'm guilty of is loving her and being loyal. My mother has dementia also and I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

Ever had to take care of someone with Alzheimer's or dementia? There aren't two sides to this story. There are three. Four. Five. All of them irrational.

Someone you love and have known your entire life can behave in ways that will shock you. Logic, truth, reality...gone in an instant, replaced with nonsensical trains of thought. And then a short while later, the person is back to who you know. And then it repeats.

It's frustrating, scary, and demoralizing. There isn't a lot you can do but keep trying to help the person you love anyway.

Hang in there, Jaf.

I'm trying, but I'm truly lost without her. As bad as it was,I would rather be taking care of her than not. I have always done for others before myself a n d now I'm being demonized.
