Hi all am completely new to all this so please bear with me. am 38 and have spent the last 15 years of my life looking after my terminal ill mother who has HD. she died 2 years ago and my life has been a ball of s**t ever since. Not only is there a 50% chance I have this disease but my partner of 16 years has p****d off with another woman. I have no job and no zero friends, all I have is the possibility of me slowly turning crazy and dying in a care home at any random point in my life, thats how the disease works. am finding it near impossible to see any point in me carrying on the circus thats my life to just have this on the horizon, any input would be most welcome as am feeling completely alone and hopeless right now
