Signs of caregiver burnout
- Tiredness that sleep does not fix
- Resentment toward the person you care for
- Pulling away from friends and things you enjoy
- Trouble focusing at work
- Skipping your own doctor visits, exercise or meals
- Feeling there is no end and no help
These are not weakness. They are a signal to get support. A day center gives you seven reliable hours every weekday.
