For me, I've lost all my energy, my heart stops whenever I get a call from a family member because either its my Dad throwing another crisis at me, or my sisters picking fights and me having to referee.
I've literally lost all of my energy to do anything.
Right now I don't have much good to say, maybe the Oilers struggling.

Tough times man. Also dealing with similar - amazing how some family members think they’re “managing ok” dealing with the dementia person yet the world is falling apart and they can’t see it nor accept help nor accept change. All you can do is manage yourself and mental health - which means taking personal time, getting outside for fresh air and movement, and if possible some help whether it’s talking with friends or resources. But you are not responsible for their decisions.
