โto 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.โ
โI 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.โ
โHi, 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
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
