How do you manage caregiving with a family and work without feeling totally overwhelmed?

Wish I knew! My house is a disaster, I forget to eat half the time, and pretty sure my boss is getting fed up with all my "emergencies" But my brother helps on weekends now which gives me a tiny break. Sending a hug bc this is so hard

Ok so what helped me - I finally told my siblings they HAD to help more. It was hard and we had some fights but now my sister takes 2 days and I do the rest. Not perfect but better than before. Also my teenager helps with cooking sometimes. Still exhausted but not dying anymore

Just wanted to say I hear you and feel this in my bones. Was up at 3am last night dealing with Dad then had to be at work at 7. My kids basically live on pizza now and I cant remember the last time I went to the gym.

Had to take FMLA last month bc it all got too much. My boss wasnt happy but whatever. Started therapy too which helps a bit. Still a mess most days but slightly better? Wish I had better answers but just taking it day by day

I try to stay on a regular routine with my husband. That is the only advice I can give. I have yet to hear he has Alzheimers, just "white patches" on his brain scan. He has been showing symptoms for years, but no one tells me what is going on. I am supposed to be his caregiver, yet I get no advice, no guidance from his Dr. He is on a ton of meds. I read what I find about the disease, take tips that sound good. But it makes me angry I need to be so careful with his feelings, when he is as rude and awful as he can be. I have feelings too, and these days not only am I his caregiver, I'm his driver, med dispencer, cleaning lady, dog walker, snow shoveler, second income maker, tax person, bill payer and the list goes on. I can't understand why I get so little help. In the back of my mind I think if things get crazy I can call the police, but what?? I need support and real time help but it feels like it isn't coming.
