My name is Mike, and I’m a carer for my lovely mum, who had a breakdown 18 months ago and is chronically ill today with anxiety, depression and panic attacks
She’s in the NHS system and being treated with medication, but is only getting worse unfortunately
It’s incredibly hard on my amazing dad, who is her primary carer - not least because he has no one he can talk to about any of this
So i’m really searching for any support network or connections service for carers like him who can share their own stories with other carers, and possibly create a conversation which would help him to understand what other people in similar situations are going through, and to have someone to talk to
Would love to discuss this with someone if possible
How old are your parents?
Do they have a tablet, iPad or similar?
