Suggest Remedy For Relationship Problem

I am a male full time live-in caregiver for a family member of 85. I am 60. I have lately been feeling trapped and honestly a little angry. I love my uncle but he s not the easiest to get along with. I sometimes feel so depressed. I don t get paid for my work, just room and board, and I m OK with that to a point. I mean I feel like I m not paying my way sort a speak and have lost my independence. Are there any ways I can relieve some of these feelings at home?

Hello thank you for sharing your problem at hcm.
Try to communicate with people around other than your uncle.like your neighbours,...go for morning walk or church once a day.and make friends there. go out of home at least once in a day alone for any reason like shopping or walking or anything else. join some old age groups or other activity where u can communicate with people other than your uncle once a day though only for few minutes or an hour.communicate with your relatives on internet and talk to them.keep yourself busy in other activities when u get free.and take a vacation and go on small trip / picnic on places nearby if possible once.

Wish you happy living.
