Yikes Brain! I don't know how I could deal with that! I am sorry you are dealing with this. Don't be too hard on yourself, do what you can. Ask for help if you need it. My grandfather who recently passed away 2 years ago due to cancer, had trouble with even the slightest things. Then, on top of that, my great grandmother had dementia, and I had to help take care of both of them. I always told them both never to be ashamed of asking for help. My Nana (great grandmother) died later on due to not eating because of depression associated with her dementia, I was really proud to help her and my grandfather too.

During the early stages of my recovery, friends were helping me. I couldn't get up and do most things. I was totally weak, confused and lethargic. But I was always hanging on. It's okay to feel overwhelmed by all the regular habits, I was too! Eating was hard too, in fact, it was actually annoying. I was so nauseous, food was the last thing I would even think about. All I did was drink water, and eat a tiny bit and vitamins. It was all overwhelming, very overwhelming. So, don't dwell on it too much, it is all a part of recovery.
