hi guys,
so basically i am terrified I'm having a breakdown or losing my mind. i have been caring for my grandmother for 9 months now and she is awful towards me, she is disabled and i think has mental health issues but she refuses to see anyone. i lost my grandfather (her husband) in december and i have just been under extreme stress more or less daily for the last 9 months. My anxiety and moods have got a hell of a lot worse. sometimes things don't seem real around me, almost like I'm in a dream (this happens at least once a day, sometime lasting for day on end) and i just can't cope, she has carers coming in twice a day but she still expects me to do everything, i just don't get any time to myself. she refused respite care to give me a break and is constantly abusive towards me. I'm 23 years old and i don't wanna have a break down now or ever in fact. it would destroy my life. so my question is does anyone know how to channel or deal with stress, i mean I've even been getting weekly migraines and if i don't have a migraine i have a headache, if i don't have a headache i have a cold or feel faint. I'm just exhausted. any tips would be excellent.
