Thanks @Sophia1 
I am part of both carers aust and young carers. Young carers not all that helpful though I must admit. I think im just stuck atm. Like talking to someone might help short term but I also just get tired of talking about the same things all the time. It gets repetitive even for me, but its because my circumstances also just dont change.
I cant get him into a respite, not with lockdown and not ever. I tried but he can say no which he will and he got aggressive and really went downhill when I mentioned a respite cottage for a week. He doesnt even like staying away from home more then a day or so. I had hoped that he couldve went to my aunts and he probably can but itll only be a day. I think im just beyond the point of having a day here and there, I really need a few weeks but that wont happen.
Yes your right, this injury is taking its toll and ive been told I also have nerve damamge and might take another 8 weeks till I might be on my feet. I just feel so tired and lethargic lately.
Guilt is a strong emotion indeed. I feel bad that right now I dont even want to be in the same house. Im just tired or something.burnt out.
Ive spoken to a few counsellors before but I dont really like it. Not sure why, I just dont really like talking to them on a regular basis and started to make me feel worse rather then better a few years ago. I do talk to sane sometimes though on their helpline or the dementias australia helpline.
I havent had any alcohol today, I probbaly wont for abit now but its sad that it come down to that. Im trying to focus on my studies. Maybe if I can do that, itll help me work towards another job or something.
you mentioned online programs...? where would i be able to find those? i havent seen or heard about those before. would you mind sharing a link for them, those might be helpful
