Thanks, it's a great idea and I think I'll try writing a report on some of my experiments in bio-hacking (polyphasic sleep, raw foodism, etc) over the next few days!
It can definitely get overwhelming being in your situation but I have found that writing in itself can be so cathartic, so even on those days you feel like you don't have the time... especially on those days... write! Even if just for 5 minutes :)
I'm currently helping support my parents, my father suffering from Alzheimer, trying to be there to provide my mother with any help or respite she can get.
Life isn't always easy, but there's always a way through when you surround yourself with the right people. You're on the right path :)
