From people who came through it
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
Arjun N. ยท been through caregiver burnoutโI 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.โ
Wandering Starling ยท been through caregiver burnoutโSorry, this got long. I'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. Getting the school involved early made a big difference for us.โ
Delivery driver O 52 ยท been through caregiver burnoutโIf 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
