Carers - Self Care Tips
You are doing your best each and everyday.
Learn to live one day at a time. Worrying about tomorrow ruins today. Worrying about yesterday ruins today.
You will deal with the problems of tomorrow, tomorrow.
I don’t think about tomorrow it’s just what must be done today.
Remind myself everyday, this is not forever, nothing lasts forever. Just have to ride this storm.
Make sure you have something to look forward to every week. Lunch out, movie, coffee with a friend.
Make sure everyday you do something that makes you happy, watch the sunset, eat an ice-cream, listen to your favourite song, have a bath, watch your favourite tv show or movie. Have a rest. Do a crossword, read trashy magazines. Very important.
Learn and accept you can’t do all the things you want to do.
Do what you can and the rest can wait.
I don’t iron, clothes iron on you, creases fall out with your body heat. Too tired. Mum used to complain about her crinkly clothes but she’s used to it now. Have started a new fashion trend the crinkle cut look.
This section is where the user documentation for your project lives - all the information your users need to understand and successfully use your project.
For large documentation sets we recommend adding content under the headings in this section, though if some or all of them don’t apply to your project feel free to remove them or add your own. You can see an example of a smaller Docsy documentation site in the Docsy User Guide, which lives in the Docsy theme repo if you’d like to copy its docs section.
Other content such as marketing material, case studies, and community updates should live in the About and Community pages.
Find out how to use the Docsy theme in the Docsy User Guide. You can learn more about how to organize your documentation (and how we organized this site) in Organizing Your Content.

Once they are diagnosed and have been provided with medication, there are many steps you need to do.
Sadly carers are left to do everything on their own - this is what others can do to assist you
It is absolutely heartbreaking to watch them decline before your eyes and there is nothing you can do to stop this

Friends and Family have no understanding of how dementia affects your life, unless they have lived it too.
There is nothing like carers exhaustion - it completely sucks the life out of you
As they decline, you will need to do things they no longer can do for themselves
All dementia sufferers loathe having a shower. As they decline you will need shower rails and a chair in the shower for them to sit on.
