A day in the life of a burnt out caregiver
Online you can find many in support groups like yourself who are venting and expressing themselves. One person said “it feels like a dark tunnel with no exit.” I believe that same person said I feel like a “one person village and I need backup.”
With loved ones, you want to end your emotional pain and you want their emotional pain to end and you just don’t know how to bring more light to a dark situation.
Many like yourself will go through early stages, tough timelines, constant diagnosis, medical appointments, doctors, and test results. Right now everything simple like feeding, clothing and grocery shopping just feels like a chore to you.
You are thinking to yourself. “I want my life, peace and freedom back.”
Your LO’s are misplacing things, things are getting lost around the house, it can be frustrating, I totally understand. This can make you sad, depressed and feeling hopeless.
Many days you feel helpless and don’t know what to do. I know you feel alone, but you aren’t alone. You need space and a joyful community to connect back with your heart to get out of your head.
You are devastated at the circumstances and daily situation with a feeling of depth and despair. The unknown and not knowing how this could escalate has your brain on overload and grief-stricken.
Your friends are heartbroken as they watch from afar of what you are going through, but they don’t totally understand what you are really going through. Through our community and daily conversations and support we do understand you.
Don’t feel downhearted you can always reach out for support if you need to vent a little. The future may look gloomy right now and you may be devastated with all of this pressure that you are putting on yourself. There is a solution for those like you in this exact situation and it’s coming up for air for some peace of mind. A chance for rest and relaxation.
You’ve maybe had to help your loved one with paying their bills, the mental decline and memory moments concern you, such as them leaving the oven on or other things that you don’t feel like you can control.
You’ve helped them with remembering medications, it all feels like so much to try to not make a mistake and to stay focused. You just need a little help, some space to yourself to refresh and rejuvenate.
It’s time to stop feeling overwhelmed and guilty every day, it’s time to catch up on your rest and sleep and get connected with a community that supports you in your journey. Be kind and compassionate to yourself and reach out for help on the next step.
