From people who came through it
โSorry, 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 burnoutโHi, 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.โ
Mounika from Udaipur ยท been through caregiver burnoutโI 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.โ
Second Cricket 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
