    I wasn't sure what state you were in but I recommend contacting somebody like Carers SA about your situation for respite or other assistance. Wellways is an education program run by Mental Illness Fellowship Victoria which I believe is available in most states - go to their website to check this out. The program is for carers of people with a mental illness and I did it in SA - one of the best things I did and most helpful for helping you cope.
