Caregiving can take many forms. It can look like helping a parent, supporting a partner, or caring for a child or family member. It’s often done quietly and over time, it can take a toll.
That’s why it’s important to check in with yourself and recognize the signs of burnout. Caregiver burnout is a state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion resulting from prolonged, chronic stress. Key symptoms include:
➡️Constant fatigue
➡️ Sleep disruptions
➡️ Irritability and hopelessness
