Don't worry doll, we've all been there. There will be good and bad days, and sometimes on a bad day we go to our comfort. It's alright. You got this. You're better than those people. Chin up and do what you do, because in the end, they don't matter. It's you who does. 

Keep on venting!!!! I stated only this morning on how good it is to let it out and go. Next time vent before the donuts. Hugs 

What happened? Stress? 

No big. You know exactly what to do. Let's go! #stillgrindtime #stayhungry  

It happens. Don't stress over it just keep looking forward. 😊 

Sorry for the bad day but just try to move forward..we all have those days. It sucks...💜💜💜💜 

Thanks to everyone 🙏 Vel - My Mom is suffering from early stage dementia & unfettered grief & anxiety. My step father passed a year & a half ago, followed by his daughter a year ago then my brother in July. Her past two years are filled with guilt and loss(including her mind) she's angry and I'm the only one in her line of sight. I'm her sole caregiver and she resents it. Thank you so much for asking❣️🙋 

Oh, I really feel for you. It's so hard when you're the child and the target at the same time, not to mention the active grief and despair with the situation. My support group (two friends in a similar situation) really helped me get through it. They still do. 

When I said "get through it" that really just means to endure and survive it as a whole person rather than getting pulled down into a pit of despair. We check in on one another and drink wine as we share the stories. 

Alnona 🤗 take care, ok? 

It's very hard when you're the caregiver. And a target. My mother would call me like clockwork every Tuesday morning after her chemo treatment and let loose. I'm with Kat on the support group. You might want to look into one. Hugs to you. 

Alnona - I don't know you or your situation. I do understand that being a caregiver is a tough job - even more so when it is family. I would offer that you need to take care of yourself - here is a link to a number of resources that are available to caregivers. there may be local resources available through the facility taking care of your Mom. https://caregiveraction.org/family-caregiver-toolbox ; Keep up the good work you are doing and vent here as often as you feel the need to...it is your journal to use as you need to. I wish you all the best on your journey.  

I had the same problem... I go through the whys... why do I want to eat? Am I really hungry? Am I thirsty? How many calories have I had today? Do I have enough to eat a dozen donuts 🍩 ? Also remember when we overeat we have even more stress bc it sets us back from our goals. Stay strong 💪🏻 #goalgetter  

So sorry you are going through such a hard time. Both your mom and you are going through a tough time so it is understandable that you are both frustrated. Hang in there.
