As a carer, you deserve to look after yourself, too.

But we know that can sometimes be easier said than done when you’re balancing a caring role with the demands of daily life.

There are no easy answers, but it’s important to try and take time for yourself, even if it’s in small ways.

Try and make the most of the time you do have. This could mean working on a craft you enjoy during your breaks at work, or listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks on your commute.

Try adding your interests into daily life - for instance, you and your loved one with dementia could sit and watch a documentary on a topic you’re interested in together.

It can also help to lean on friends and family, whether that’s asking them to step in so you can take a break, or chatting to someone who understands what you’re going through and can really listen. You could also look for local carers' support groups, or visit our online Dementia Support Forum to connect with other people who ‘get it’.

And if you’re struggling, speak to your GP. Carers can often reach a crisis point before they realise that they’ve been struggling for a while in their role. But you don’t need to reach breaking point to ask for help, like counselling or extra support services.

Social services can also carry out a care assessment for your loved one, and a carers assessment for you. They may be able to help with carers, day care or respite care, to give you time to rest, socialize, or do something you enjoy.

Getting help and support before you think you need it is one way to prepare for the future. Some services have waiting lists, so it may be reassuring to know that you have a plan in place.

And if you need support or advice, we’re here for you too. Just give our Dementia Support Line a call on 0333 150 3456.
