My name is Denise, but everyone calls me Dee. I`m a full-time carer for my husband who has osteo-arthritis, diabetes, and a few other medical problems, the one of the most worrying of which is his capability of forgetting what he`s said/not said/done/not done on quite a few occasions, along with his ability to deny the problem.
He can be very egotistical most of the time, with the whole world revolving around him.
The consequences of which lead to me having a nervous breakdown last year, although after about 8 months of double therapy, CBT, and high dosage anti-depressants (which I am still on), I feel I`m getting back to my old self.
I`ve mentioned to the G.P about my husbands problem, and she`s been very good, trying to help both of us as much as possible, although my husband has put on a good show and so she doesn`t know exactly what she is dealing with as far as he is concerned
I`ve since found out that I have a rare blood borne virus (that can at worst case scenario be life threatening, hubby doesn`t know how bad it can be because he would then go around telling everyone that he has this and he has that)
