Ways of coping
- Some carers continue to sleep in the same bed while others can’t, and move to single beds or separate rooms.
- A private relationship with someone else can be of help for some carers. Others may find this impossible while the person remains at home, though they may consider it if the person goes into frail care.
- Masturbation may bring relief and enjoyment for some carers.
- Everyone is different and chooses different coping mechanisms.
