Are you experiencing Caregiver Burnout?

You’ll know you are experiencing caregiver burnout by identifying the way that you feel day to day and hour by hour.  It will feel heavy, overwhelming and as though each day is getting more challenging than the day before.  You’ll almost want to channel your anger elsewhere and you’ll have this intense frustration inside.

You’ll become irritable and start to lose sleep becoming restless.  Your frustrated state will compound daily.  You’ll feel like you are losing control and start to get very aggravated.

You may be the son, daughter or spouse going through this, there are many in the sandwich generation who are experiencing this like you are right now.  There is a better way, I’ll get into that later.  You can feel all alone and as though the world is against you.  It feels heavy and like a dead-end with no solutions, but there is one.

After all of your hard work, the time you invest and the pressure that you put on yourself, it can almost make you have feelings of being resentful towards your loved one, but know that it isn’t healthy to feel this way.

When you lose sleep, or feel sleep deprived you get cranky, and impatient more easily.  getting stressed out comes from being bitter for long drawn out amounts of time, it can really eat at your insides.

It makes you feel touchy with the other and it’s not your fault, or their fault, and you don’t want to let it bottle up inside until you boil up and get furious and red in the face.

Your mental health is too important, you must first take care of yourself. This includes needing some much needed space and a break which you rightfully deserve.

We specialize in daytime elder care assistance and we look forward to supporting your loved one and yourself.
