JelatineDessert Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 My parents are both ill and sick. I do everything I can within my power mentally and physically to help my parents in their lives and make their lives more enjoyable. (I live with them and am in my early 20s, completing my degree). Sometimes, it's to the point where I care more for others than myself. However, if all my care is not enough to take them out of their suffering, what can I do to cope with seeing them suffer? I see them everyday at home, so it's hard to not see, but even getting out of the house sometimes doesn't keep me from thinking about them and feeling bad for them. How can I deal with these feelings? I want to see what kind of new mindset/way of thinking I can adopt in order to feel more at peace with this. Any help/life experience stories would be appreciated. I already am seeing a college counselor about this and we just started, so I'm not yet healed. Link to post Share on other sites
