I have something like your problem. I try to be really patient and caring, but it’s gotten to the point where I have a reputation among my friends and family for it. Now I have more people to support than I can handle emotionally. My battery isn’t dead, but now it’s like blowing a breaker if the draw on any given day is too much.
Caregiver burnout is a thing. Don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm.
Really like this. Is that from somewhere?
It sure is, but I have no idea from where. Picked it up online long ago.
