The Un-Isolated Un-Blurt Thread

I'm so stressed that my sister is visiting and I can't reach her. Why have a cell phone if you never answer it??? And I just love when she only calls when it's convenient for her. :rolleyes:

I wish I could talk to my dad the way we used to talk. I miss being able to tell him how I'm feeling and him understanding. I miss how goofy he was with me. I miss how we'd make each other laugh.
I miss how I could say anything to him about my thoughts and feelings and he would just listen.
I'm glad of this though. He's done so much for me and been there for me. I'm grateful that I had one person in my life that really knew me and still stood by my side when things were bad.
I'm grateful for the many years of memories I have of him.
I know he's still there, behind the dementia. I see it every now and then. At least I know when he's gone I did all I could possibly do for him and that's all he'd ever ask of me.
I love you so much, dad. :heart:

Show him your tits!
 
Try talking your dad, don't expect much, but if he is still there behind the dementia, it might help you both.

She should tell him about the shit she talks/does here.

That'd wake him up!

I visit him every week and it does. I'm just angry at dementia taking so much of him away from me. :mad:

At least I do my best every visit to make it nice. :)
 
My sleep is so off and I'm frustrated with myself. Been trying to take better care of myself but haven't been able to.

I suck at life. :(

(hug)

sleep patterns being off can wreck your days; you don't suck at life, you're just not in the best place emotionally to enjoy it right now. between your dad and the other disappointment you're coping with, it's not surprising.

be kinder to yourself.
try to set a little time away each day to do something just for you - it's too easy to fill every moment with doing things that 'have to be done'. when you've not slept well, if at all, it's hard to get up. have you thought about talking to your doc to see if they can suggest anything?

this too shall pass, twinkles, i promise :rose::rose:
 
My father is doing ok and still going strong. Wish things were different but, not much I can do about it.
