Hi all my name is rachel
I have looked after mum for many years both mum and dad before that i reduced my hours at work then my bosses got fed up with my caring roll interfearing and talked me in to giving up job.mum who has mental health issues as well as physical problems. Due to the mental health issues means i do not get out and havn't spoken to anouther person other than mum for 10 days now. Because of the lenth of time since i left work i lost contact with my friends who have given up and my fiance didn't understand and left and i have no other family as such i do love my mum but it's lonely. As i know people here are in the same boat so just trying to find other human interaction just because i have forgotten what it is. Sorry about the waffling.

Hi and welcome
I look after my mum too. Caring can be/ is very lonely and isolating. There are a few of us on the forum who know all about the friends giving up!
