From people who came through it
“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.”
Mounika from Udaipur · 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“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“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.”
