How to prevent caregiver burnout

Being a caregiver can bring out all kinds of emotions. One day it may be rewarding and fun, while the next it might be stressful and draining. It’s a demanding job, and sometimes caregivers get so wrapped up in their duties that they start to neglect their own health and well being. In this video, we’ll teach you how to recognize some of the signs of caregiver burnout and give you a few tips on what you can do to prevent it.

To be honest you cant prevent caregiver burnout.

I also feel stuck and overwhelmed. Some these comments are troubling.
Maybe one way is to set limits to help you and the person being cared for.

It has been 4 years since my grandmother passed away. And this post-caregiving life isn't going to get any better. I wanted to live like a normal person, to secure my financial state, getting married and having kids. But this tiredness keeps dragging me down no matter how much I tried to fight it.

Sadly for me I can't even visit doctor because no one to relieve me. Family members do not help or visit.

What if the person you are caring for won't allow you one minute to youself

It's really hard to be doing this for so long, I basically don't feel I have enough left for what it takes for me- I feel like I have been a mom of a child since I was 17 except I don't have my spouse companion, and I didn't choose this. I feel guilty for having anger and pain. Now I feel like it's going to maybe be intruding on my opportunity to build my own life and I even feel little torn between a relationship and my mom's expectations which I never seem to meet.

Definitely feel like I've been here before.. so many feelings rushing in and it being so hard to deal with sometimes.

There's nothing rewarding or fun about caregiving. I HATE IT!

The best solution is to throw whoever you're taking care of in the nursing home if circumstances allow it.

been caring 24 hours a day for my hubby, he's been in hospital for 2 months coming home tomorrow, I feel the panic, Im so stressed, I have no family and my friends disappeared....I wonder how painful being hit by a fast moving train would be ? (kidding)

Family is helping but it is not enough. I cannot get everything done that needs to be done.
