How to see group discussions

I joined a private group but don't know how to join the discussions of the group. Can someone explain?

    Welcome. You are new, IMO you will get more value out of reading threads and posting your own concerns so that many members can respond to you.

    Welcome to the group. Sorry you need it, even though it is a good one.

    Which private group did you join? Was it here on alzconnected? This site has recently been given a new look, and even some of our older members aren't totally familiar with it yet. But if you give us more information, someone should help.

    Just starting, new at this! LH diagnosed about 2 hrs ago. Read about many stages, not sure were he’s at. Knows my name but can’t find the bathroom. Deal everyday with new changes. No matches, knives, scissors, chairs with no arms and stools ( falls asleep and falls off) LH doesn’t believe anything is wrong with him, it’s someone else’s fault. Dealing with things better since changed my approach. I do become angry and upset at times but try to just walk away and tell myself it’s my job to keep him safe and healthy. So far I’ve been able to deal with everything but the angry outbursts. That’s when I walk away ( tell myself I don’t have to listen to that). What I need is things to keep LH busy. Likes to snap, button, fold, bag everything. Any suggestions would be appreciates. Candy

    Welcome CandyP. Not believing that anything is wrong with him has a name, it is anosognosia. You are already doing the work-arounds that the members use. Keep posting.
