Hi
I am looking for some advice about sharing my time. I have recently become my mum’s carer, but I also have a 15-year-old at home who has recently been diagnosed with severe anxiety and an eating disorder. I am struggling to plan my days and feel guilty when I am not with mum or at home. I have a 20-year-old daughter who helps with my other daughter, but she is due to return to uni. Please can someone give me some advice?
hi @bensonruihall ,welcome to the forum. You are in a right pickle. What you need to do is ask for a care plan, emerncy care action plan and for extra help as it a struggle to look after 2 people,I should know as I am just keeping alfoat. Speak to the GP and ask them to get Social services involved and to help you out. Also ask the people who are helping your son with things, if they can help arrange extra help. you can contact the carers helpline and they are very helpful. all the best.
Thank you, I will definitely be giving them a call. I just don’t know much about this kind of thing, and I will look into the emergency care plan.
