Daisy, I'm sorry you're down in the muck and mire too. I really hope you feel better soon.
I know you face what I'm facing all the time, and have for some time. I can't tell you how much that impresses me.
I went yesterday to put new bedding on my father's new mattress and he had already soiled the sheet he was lying on. I did everything I should, I think. I treated it matter of factly to reduce his embarassment. But I have to dissociate so much to do all that, and it gives me headaches and makes time all choppy and meaningless.
I can't even imagine what it must be like to be a more hands on caregiver like you are, not even to mention the emotional demands of your job. I am so impressed.
I know you're in really good hands with your therapist. I wish mine would empty his hands soon so that he could help me a bit more. :)
