[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2371061, member: 372207"] It's impossible to give someone a stroke (unless you hit them in the head with a heavy blunt object, which I'm pretty sure you didn't do). It's also impossible to give someone diabetes, even if you are the one responsible for food. It sounds like you're carrying a very heavy burden. Have you looked for help for yourself as well as looking after your mum? I know from myself, when my depression gets worse, feelings of guilt get worse too. Guilt is a horrible feeling, and it often won't listen to reason. For me it took a psychologist to learn to recognise the guilt was the depression's voice, not something I deserved. It's still hard sometimes to see the difference between the two, but I've learnt some useful tricks to do so. May I urge you to make an appointment with your GP to speak about guilt and anxiety and fear and how the burden of caring for your mum is a bit heavy and overwhelming for you? If you find it hard to talk, you can have him or her read this thread, you explain quite well what's going on here, and your GP may have ideas on how to make things a bit easier for you. Wish you and your mum all the best! [/QUOTE]
