I do not seem to "fit" here but maybe some of you can advise me.
Although I have read some great content here that has helped me have a better understanding of the complexities of caregiving, and given me some useful tools and ideas, I find that quite often when I reach out for support, I am met with criticism or judgment. Maybe I am just not skilled at "venting"? But, at this point, what I could really use is advice on my own health and well-being since I am no longer a full-time caregiver, but need support in regards to the condition I'm in as an aging person myself.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

As for the hurtful comments, people are going to have differing opinions when you post, we are a community of people from varied backgrounds, ages and locations. I seldom see people being deliberately cruel.
I think you might consider starting your own discussion thread, titled something like " But what about MY health?".
I have gained lots of weight and don't get enough exercise. I am less efficient at doing things ( housekerping, shopping, cooking) because, I think, of the near constant drumbeat if " what ifs" with mom.
