in I Am Living With Younger Onset Alzheimer's
Hello friends- I am newly diagnosed Early Onset. I'm looking for support groups, counselors or therapists/social workers who can offer support in this stage. I am in my early 50s, still working, kids in college, mortgage, mom with Alz. I need help and a place to be able to talk about what this means for my life. Like, seriously?? Can't I bargain and offer to get this when I'm 70 please?! If there is anyone near Houston, I'd love to meet up. If you know of any virtual groups or therapists that work with EO, I'd appreciate that also. Thanks everyone.

    I’m so sorry to hear of your EO diagnosis.

    Call the Alzheimer’s association hotline and

    they will send you list of online support groups. I just joined one this week and was great support and sharing!
