I've noticed that this condition has become prevalent in other women in my age group; and can only think that -- thru my eyes --

  • many of us have been going thru tough times psychologically since 2001.
  • married w/kids with some/all parents still living -- this is the 'sandwich' generation;
  • eventually having to care for/supporta parent's illness while continuing to be 'super' parent;
  • depression, exhaustion, isolation follows -- and the real kicker is thatsooner or lateris a 'domino effect'that goes thruthe family unit -- ours has lasted four years, my husband has been the last one to experience this.
I have ALWAYS been fantastic at multi-tasking. When my father was diagnosed with mesothelioma, everyone turned to me and I embraced the task of a caregiver. I've always been the one my family turned to with issues; & for the'nurturing' instinct.I tend to dotoo much for my husband and kids... So here I am now, on my third year of depression and Lexapro; wondering when I'll get my act together. Piles of papers/dvds/misc. pcs of ipods... I just shuffle them around 'til last minute bills are due, deadlines for school projects... There's always a reason why it takes so long; but at the root I believe it's just a similar form of narcissistic behavior at a much lesser, harmless level. I micro-managed our kids, my father's cancer treatments or trips to attorney for living will, lawsuit, etc.-- so when he passed I didn't notice my sickness right away. Since then, I have taken on many 'projects' for people; an overwhelming desire to cure anything for anyone, as long as I can do it with style and get lots of attention... This condition has always been present, but it became very prevalent during these past three years of depression. == There is a syndrome known as "compassion fatigue". It afflicts caregivers either professional, voluntary or family. For people or animals. Look it up -its bound to give some insights.
