Help for caregiver burnout in Puerto Rico
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“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.”
Johanna N · been through caregiver burnout“I was in the same place this time last year. I remember my own health falling apart like it was yesterday. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.”
