I'm trying to brainstorm things I could buy to make my life easier, or at the very least, more tolerable.

Based on my experience this morning asking ChatGPT technical questions I asked perplexity.ai. The answer shows to me that the question was not detailed enough and besides some of these are impossible and others you already know about:

Prompt:
A woman is married with several children who have medical/psychological issues. She sometimes does not get a night's sleep and misses meals etc because her children's problems are immediate and severe. How can she make her life easier or at least more tolerable?

Answer:
As a parent caring for children with medical and psychological issues, it's crucial to prioritize self-care while managing your children's needs. Here are some strategies to help make your life more manageable:

Establish a Support Network​

Building a strong support system is essential:
  • Reach out to family members, friends, or neighbors who can provide respite care
  • Connect with other parents in similar situations through support groups or online communities
  • Consider hiring a part-time caregiver or babysitter to give you regular breaks

Prioritize Self-Care​

Taking care of yourself is not selfish; it's necessary to be an effective caregiver:
  • Schedule regular "me time" for activities you enjoy
  • Make sleep a priority by establishing a consistent bedtime routine
  • Ensure you're eating regular, nutritious meals

Develop Coping Strategies​

Implement techniques to manage stress and maintain your mental health:
  • Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation
  • Engage in regular physical activity, even if it's just a short walk
  • Consider seeking counseling or therapy for yourself to process your emotions and learn coping skills

Organize and Streamline​

Improving organization can help reduce stress and save time:
  • Create a family calendar to track appointments and responsibilities
  • Develop routines for daily tasks like meals, medications, and bedtime
  • Use technology or apps to help manage schedules and reminders.

Seek Professional Help​

Don't hesitate to ask for professional assistance:
  • Work closely with your children's healthcare providers to optimize treatment plans
  • Explore respite care options through local social services or healthcare organizations
  • Look into home health services that may be available to assist with medical car.

Advocate for Your Needs​

Remember that your well-being is important too:
  • Communicate openly with your partner about sharing responsibilities
  • Be honest with healthcare providers about your struggles and ask for resources
  • Look into local or national organizations that offer support for families in similar situations.
By implementing these strategies, you can create a more balanced and sustainable caregiving environment. Remember, taking care of yourself is not just beneficial for you, but also for your children who rely on your care and support.
