From people who came through it
“I know you're tired. I know you feel guilty for being tired. I did too. But you're not a bad person for feeling resentful. You're human. The care assessment might be useless, and your health might suffer. But please, find one person who gets it. And hold on to the small moments. They come. They really do.”
Second Cricket · 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.”
Johanna N · been through caregiver burnout“I know you are running on empty. The resentment, the guilt, the exhaustion, it is all real. You are not a bad person for feeling it. Start with one small thing that is just for you, even if it is ten minutes. I found a sitter for two hours a week, and it changed things. It is not a cure, but it is a start. You are doing more than you think.”
Wandering Starling · been through caregiver burnout“Hi, you. This time last year I was exactly where you are. No respite in sight, every single day. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.”
