From people who came through it
“Se você está começando agora, saiba que é normal se sentir sobrecarregado. Não tente fazer tudo sozinho. Peça ajuda, mesmo que seja pequena. Um vizinho, um parente, um grupo de apoio. E cuide de você também. Não é egoísmo, é necessidade. As coisas podem melhorar, mas você precisa dar o primeiro passo para buscar ajuda.”
Matheus from Belém · been through caregiver burnout“You will resent them. You will hate yourself for it. Both things can be true. I wish someone had told me that earlier. Get a sitter for two hours a week, even if they refuse. Even if it feels like a waste. She'll survive. You need those two hours more than you know. And the guilt doesn't go away, but it gets quieter.”
Rambling Window · been through caregiver burnout“to 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.”
Khadija · been through caregiver burnout“If 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.”
