How can i feel less burdened by caregiver responsibilities?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask for help: Most care givers in this country are "unskilled" unpaid (family). It is often a fulltime job and can wreak havoc on your health. "me" time is imperative. Take time for yourself- get help, deal with stress in healthful ways. Reach out to organizations that can support you(ie alzheimers asoc). You are no good to anyone if you are not healthy yourself.
