This was so very helpful and informative. Thank you so much!

Very informative. Thank you very much.

How did that gentleman achieve or succeed in his son's stopping marijuana and how did he manage to get his son to accept he had an illness?!

Thymus thump , not thalamus lol

I was the 24/7 caregiver for a man in my home for 22 years, who was on hospice, palliative care, hospice for the last 4 years of his life. At moments notice he would go into respiratory distress & while I kept my cool & provided needed medicine , each time, in back of my mind, I wondered IF this was the one he wouldn’t come out of. He passed peacefully ( my goal & hope) a year and a half ago. I’m am better with time but I’m still so numb & affected . I loved Arthur so much. Of course I’m glad he’s free now but my heart is broke. If I’m in a situation that triggers that old internal panic , it really takes awhile for it to leave me. I’m not the same person anymore.

I really like all the advice you are giving, here! I sure could have used some of these suggestions several years ago! I came across this video this evening, while watching other videos on the NAMI website. Very interesting and informative! A bit of back story on my experiences as a caregiver to my partner of 15 years.. She was diagnosed, between 2007-2010, with both Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder, as well as major depressive disorder, and PTSD. She also has a history of drug and alcohol abuse most of her life, starting at the age of 15 yrs old., which resulted in her being infected with Hep C virus, and ultimately She required a Liver Transplant in 2009, at the age of 46 yrs old, at which time, We were living together for almost 3 years. We were a couple by then, we loved and cared very much about each other, and planned on getting married sometime in the future. I’m happy to report, she has been clean and sober, since before her liver transplant. That was the “wake up call” she needed! Needless to say, the relationship was very challenging most of the time! But, we were not going to give up on it. I believed in her and her determination to get well . I soon became her caretaker, as her liver function was worsening, due to cirrhosis and eventually liver failure, while waiting for a liver to transplant. Then, after that major surgery, I still was her primary care taker. It was a very stressful time in our life then ! Some days, I wondered how long I could go on like that! This physical illness she was going through, caused her mental illness’s to become worse, so I had that to deal with also! Fast forward a few years, and things improved for her, both physically and psychologically, which helped our relationship to improve dramatically, along with LOTS of counseling, both as a couple and separately ! But, to say the relationship was easy from then out, would not be true at all ! Sure, we had good times, we’ve made good memories, and continue to Love and support one another. But, I’ve got to say, that relationship, and the challenges we faced throughout the years, almost destroyed me! Caretaking ( alone, most of the time), for her, along with all the ups and downs that go along with the types of mental illnesses she struggled with, just eventually became too difficult, too much to handle, and, too draining ! It was constantly, one step forward and two steps back! I couldn’t do it anymore!.. 😢 To save my sanity, I had to throw in the towel ! I had no more to give to her! I was burnt out ! 😔 Leaving her was extremely hard, painful, and difficult! Because, I knew the tough life she had, the abuse she endured growing up, both childhood sexual and physical abuse. The Love I had, and still have for her., the Love she had, and says she still has for me, but she felt terribly hurt and abandoned by me, the day I walked out. And, for that, I’m truly sorry. I did the best I could, I was her biggest cheerleader, always, while she burned bridges with other friends and family members, who walked away or just couldn’t do it anymore, with her. It’s been almost 2 years, since we broke up. I am now 65 yrs old, she is 62, we still keep in touch a couple times a month, but it is time for me to prioritize my health, my mental wellbeing, and my needs, for the first time in my life! As I have many more years behind me, than I do in front of me, at this point in my life! I don’t want to spend the rest of my life I have left, stressed and struggling, and taking care of others.. I just don’t! Burnout is Real !!

Very informative vedio

Puis-je savoir quelle est la différence entre une personne handicapée et une personne en situation de handicap ?

I try to start my day working out so I'm physically fit and ready for the physical demanding caregiving work.

Very helpful .I'm fighting this daily . 😢

This video is very helpful !! Thank you !!!!

The problem is that there's not enough time or money left over for the caregiver without major consequences for the patient.

Awesome 💯😢

I spoke about self care today . This is a great conversation

Been dealing with living with my grandparents for 5 years with dementia and i dont know what to do.. sometimes i wish i had the dementia

The legislation and implementation is so effective that the court proceedings take place without the individual present to argue for evidence that stemmed from their rights being violated be deemed inadmissible, the statements made under oath are deemed too sensitive for the individual to legally demand for lawsuit, and the individual gets far too much time to file for an injunction of the initial evaluation that they are a permanent threat to society that it should be reduced to being done while in custody/detention/under arrest by a biased system. This is sarcasm.

Great information! 📝

I think it’s important to note that women are only more likely to develop PTSD because they’re more likely to be caregivers. 😅

Good morning from the Philippines. Is it ok to mix a demented person in a normal homecare.

What an helpful webinar: clear explanations, concrete examples and tools how to get help. Thank you very much !

This turned out great!

How come yous don't help out fighting for us to be compensated for being caregivers. Nova Scotia caregivers they help out families financially. I retired early to take care of my dad and now my mother. I have lost 80,000$ to do this. If I was not thier daughter I would be paid some , if I had to put her in a home or have steady PSW it would cost the government more money. The government wants people to stay in their own homes but don't help financially. My parents didn't have the money to pay privately.

When dealing with adults it's helpful to get support from siblings if you can eek it out of them. I was asked it I would let a family member or friend go through this (caregiver to aged adults) the person who asked me was family. What the hell? This is a horrible job. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I don't recommend it. When you have no help. You have no help.

thank you for this video🥲

Thank you for this video

Just being validated I guess.

One effective way of dealing with PTSD Patients or bipolar patients who become physically aggressive I have found is to call a crisis line or the police, have them either arrested or held for observation in a psychiatric institution. They need to learn they HAD BETTER LEARN TO PUT THEIR PAST BEHIND THEM. Nobody is obligated to be abused either physically or verbally by a person with a mental condition. There are rules in society. Even PTSD,BI POLAR or drug addicted people need to learn that if they break rules, they will go to jail

This is interesting. I was searching KZbin about clients developing PTSD from the dysfunctional behavior of paid aids, but can see how unpaid caregivers can get it if they are living in and isolated from others. If they are family members and they're dealing with an unrelenting or terminal illness in somebody they love I'm sure the feeling of being unable to fix it probably can cause trauma. In my case, I have had alot of bad homecare aids that become hostile and take out their frustrations on me in various ways and I can feel myself not being able to turn off my adrenaline reaction even after they have been terminated. Now after about 6 or so such bad experiences over a period of several years (most start going downhill after about 3 months and eventually stop being effective and even harmful) I am beginning to feel anxiety now even at the thought of finding a new one. This would be another good topic for you guys to do a video on. Seems like alot of paid people get into the field for the wrong reasons and may be damaged to begin with and unable to accept direction in a job where a supervisor is on site. I also wonder if people who already have PTSD are attracted to this field and then their overreactivity causes it in their clients.
