Reply - Not a Nurse

"I think that if the sister-in-law has a long-term illness, they should look into placing her in a nursing home. If it's a short-term illness then she should sacrifice and do what needs to be done with the help of her husband considering the sister-in-law has no one else to rely on."

Not A Nurse

My adult sister-in-law is sickly. My mother-in-law passed away recently. Now my husband and I are responsible for my sister-in-law. We have three children ages 3, 9 and 15. I already feel like a married single mother. Now I have a new house guest. I know the work will fall on me. I cannot handle and honestly do not want this responsibility. My husband has a single brother with not children and money to spare. He of course does not want to cramp his lifestyle. My husband's life won't change except some resentment from me. I need all kinds of suggestions.

I just found out that I am depressed. I know how strange that sounds but it's true according to my primary. I didn't know because I don't feel melancholy. However I battle severe lethargy everyday. I was thinking I had a virus or mono and I'm still waiting on results from blood work. But the doc is confident that I'm depressed. Has anyone out there experienced depression in this way and if so how do you handle day to day routines?
