I'm finding this helpful because I am feeling burned out emotionally & mentally. I keep telling myself I'm doing ok in handling things, and people keep telling me that I'm doing an amazing job caring for my husband. I'm just not doing such a good job of caring for myself although I know I need to.
Thanks for the video..feeling burnout caring for my sister who has stage 4 cancer .....I'm just tired all the time and I have no time for myself.....I need and want my life back ...I want it to stop .....
Thank you for discussing this very relevant topic. We are experiencing a shortage of trained caregivers due to the last of the baby boomers getting older now. We need a bigger pool of home health helpers across the board with care, mental therapy, physical therapy, etc.
Thank you for talking about caregiving for loved one with psychiatric illnesses. This is a burden, a différent one but very heavy. Caregiving for people with schizophrenia damages your own mental health.
I wish we could talk about taking self care time and how the elderly person you are caring for feels upset if you take a break 👐. All my counsellors tell me to make time for self care and when i do my 88 yr old mother tells me im a bad carer ? If anyone has advice i would appreciate it. Thanku .
Personally, as dealing with dementia and physical weakness, I can be in quite random situation, therefore I find it easier to border on perfection because it’s the quickest way to notice when something has changed.

“Too full”? Do you mean ‘overwhelmed’? That’s what it sounds like you’re saying.
