Just venting

ronda b

I know most of you have been through this, just need to let some of it out. How do you deal with all the negative and getting angry at the least thing. Maybe angry is the wrong word. Dh can't stand the dogs to bark or the least little wait or what he precedes as not the way it should be. I'm always wrong or it's my fault. I know it's part of the disease, he has VD and AD, but diddly! You can't argue or get mad. Everything should be kept on the calm side no stress for him.

Today I went and got a cappuccino and went to the park and just cried. Yes I see a councler. Just some days.…..

ok I'm done. Thanks for listening. .

I know alot of you have it much worse. You are angels.

ronda, have you talked to his doc about medication for this? Yes it's awful when you're always the target. Something for anxiety and aggression might help take the edge off. You need to let them know it is happening.

I have medications for me to help me stay calm! Love my antidepressant.

Ronda, Seroquel helped quite a bit with the exact thing you described, but those agitated and blaming episodes still crop up throughout the week. I’m now trying to stop looking for normal and just be satisfied with tolerable, which is where we are now. We have tolerable days and bad days; the good days seem to be gone now. But, I enjoy the tolerable days.
(((Hugs))) And we keep on going! ❤️

He is on seroquel. Your right. It's tolerable now. If it gets worse will ask Dr to maybe increase med.. don't want to snow him.

jsps139 great survival tactics, change your thinking, thank you for this, so I too am now looking for nothing much just tolerable days the normal went it feels like years ago. I can no longer understand much of what DH is saying but I can tell he is enjoying saying it so I try to say something encouraging with pleasant single word intonation. It’s a long journey filled with good, bad, acceptable and sad days, we’re all in this together but sometimes you feel so alone.
