my mum just sleeps all the time

and I miss her. She works hard 5 days a week, but then she is mostly in bed. even on her two week holiday she went to bed. When I suggested she get out a bit more with her grandchildren she got angry and said everyone is on her back. When I asked her to explain, she gave me a load of paranoid stuff about her collegues and on/off boyfriend. She keeps having something wrong with her, her neck, her eye, her arm her leg, its a different thing every week. She wont go to doc cos shes a nurse and said the doc would be useless. Its been like this two years and my other siblings are sick of the constant gloom and doom and sleeping. Shes been depressed before but wont listen to any suggestions. I am a mum and I never ever want to be like this in my middle age :(

sounds like shes suffering from depression and cant admit it. if you are really worried maybe ask the gp to call out for a home visit. its likely it will just get worse if an intervention isnt made.... good luck xx

maybe she needs HRT. but shes a grown up to so if she doesnt want to listen. some grandmothers dont get wrapped up in their children let alone grandchildren thats just fact maybe just back off and get on with your own mothering...

Lifes more interesting when you tell the truth.
