• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I am a caregiver of my mother and my grandma.
My mother is my life and i would do ANYTHING for her.
My grandma is in pain and i would do ANYTHING for her as well.



The only problem is, i do not focus on my own life and my own needs :(
this is a problem...

I'm sorry you have such a heavy load, sweetie.
Your mother and grandma are very blessed to have such a loving carer.

You do need to find some time for yourself, sweetie - otherwise you will burn out. Is there anyone else who can care for them, even if it's only for a few hours now and then to give you time to do something for you :hug:

Praying for you, sweetie.

Your are doing a great job, very few people are there like you and I think you should need some other help to care your mother and grandma. It is better to take home care services and they also providing best services with best facilities. Now-a-days some home care centers providing free services to those people who are not spend much money for home care services.
