Coping as a carer

[Deborah_2110]

Hello everyone. This is my 1st time. In entering a chat room. I’m not sure what to expect.
Is there anybody out there. Looking after a dementia sufferer. That has a mental illness. Themselves ....??
If so. Please help with some advice.. Thank you. Deborah

HI Deborah,

welcome the forum.

The forum is bit different to a chat room. Basically you post (as you have done) and then carers pop on the forum as and when they can and type a reply.

If you click on the spanner at the bottom of a thread on the left hand side, by the Post a Reply button you will receive a notification when someone replies.

Also, if you click on your username at the top right hand corner, you can select your notification and subscription settings.
