My husband had 2 tonic clonic seizures in his sleep, has since lost his ability to drive and has been struggling with med side effects, moods, anxiety, depression and no sleep.

This has all put a huge amount of stress on me, I went from barely driving and doing very limited work around the house and activity with our kids to doing it all. I am now not only doing everything around the house (well more like failing at it), driving the kids to all of their activities and driving him for his job.

I don't get any downtime to rest and recuperate, if I am lucky I might get to lay down for 1 hour a couple times a week. I have still been going to bed early, but am not sleeping well at all so I am never refreshed. I have very limited help or support.

I feel as bad as I did in the first really difficult months, and in some cases worse. I am a basket case, my moods are all over the place. The littlest thing can cause me to fly off the handle. As each week goes by I am struggling more and more.
I definitely understand same here husband had 2 operations back to back has vascular dementia. I would get angry cuz I do it all too. but why make myself sicker have neuropathy asthma and diabetes. I just pulled my self up by the boot straps and readjusted my attitude.
