My Grandma drives me fucking nuts......

So i recently moved back into my grandma's to save some money for college. Ive been going to school full time and my grandmother lets me live with her in exchange for a few chores. Honestly though she's driving me fucking nuts. She Gossips all the fucking time, and I mean all the time. She repeats herself constantly, and stresses about everything. If something needs to get done she wont fucking let go of the issue until it gets done. Maybe its our generation difference, but its a horrible empty way to live. The only time she is happy is when she is in control of her environment and settings. Thats the best way i can describe it.
Sorry I just had to vent. But i hate it when people focusing on negative shit all the time, including problems. This life is hard enough without your mind adding to the constant fucking stress. Fucking makes me anxious as hell

My Grandma's the same way. Old people get depressed if they feel like they've reached the end of their lives and haven't accomplished anything.
The fact that she's repeating herself a lot, her need to control things and depressive, negative behavior are warning signs for dementia. I've watched my Grandmother go through this. It really sucks.

Grandma what was it L-I-I-I-I-I-K-E, to be on that holiday site? Oh it could have been worse but with THEM by my side in the twilight THEY sang all the old lullabies.
Grandma' who are THEY?
... never mind you dirty little brat.
Let us go inside, something's on THEIR mind THEY are still alive Can You feel THEIR eyes?
Now that You are stuck with me you better be my friend.

I did get up earlier around 8:00am, but I just lied in bed for a while, and then...jerked off. I've got to stop masturbating, it makes me too lazy. Stop it Albert...stop it. ~Albert Einstein.

I love when my Grandmother nags at me and my cousins. It's funny and also I let her do it because I know it makes her feel that she is still needed and still has control in the family.

How do you guys think I should handle this? Im trying to be patient as possible. Ive even sat her down and told her in a polite manner, quit fucking nagging me all the time, tell me something once and I will get it done.
Im trying to be compassionate, especially since i have no where else to go.

How old is she? Maybe you could take her to a senior center where they have activities. Some of them have day trips places, arts and crafts and things like that. Sounds like she just needs to get out more and be with people her own age. You could also make some really special brownies

All you can do is tell her how you feel, as you have. Maybe a polite reminder here and there, but other than that, live with it. Most old women are like that. It's you grandmother though. Learn as much as you can from her while she is still around. Ask about the family history, listen to the stories of her life, etc. She'll probably enjoy telling you, and when the time comes, you will be very grateful you didn't waste the opportunity.
Also, as someone mentioned, senior centers are good places. They can gives a new purpose to an old person's life.

Honestly she is old and set in her ways, and if you try to change her now she will resent the shit out of you for it. All you can really do is go along with it or ignore her.

I hope this never happens to my parents. I'd be lost.

Hell yeah. "Them" all the way. \m/
Sounds like the OP needs to pull a King Diamond and bites his grandmas throat out.
Or just slip some ganja in her tea...calm her down.

fuck all that bullshit, I don't give a shit what she has to say. She could die tomorrow and I'd actually be happy. If she was having a heart attack or choking, I'd do what Baris did in "A Scanner Darkly" and wait a little while and take my time before phoning the police

looks like you'd want her to hang around a while or at least until you get a place of your own
