โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy and the first few months were the worst of my life and but I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad, lean on whoever offers, even if it's awkward so people want to help. Go slowly.โ
โto anyone starting with caregiver burnout: feeling this way does not mean you are weak. it means you have been carrying too much for too long. you will feel angry and guilty and loving all in the same hour. that is normal. get a sitter, even for two hours. go for a walk. cry in the bathroom if you need to. but do not turn on yourself for having feelings. this is hard what you are doing. and plenty of us are doing it too.โ
โI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't so but you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. Honestly, getting out for ten minutes a day helped more than I thought it would.โ
โI was in the same place this time last year. I remember my own health falling apart like it was yesterday. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.โ
