Feeling burned out is one of the severe stress feelings caused by extreme mental, emotional, and physical worries. This kind of feeling comes to us even though we don’t like it because some uncontrollable situations make us feel so low, powerless, and defeated. And it is sad if you’re feeling burnout while taking care of your loved ones.

We know that there are times that even though you loved them, you get the feeling of being tired of them because you have no one to talk to about it, you feel like no one understands you, but we need to get reminded that there are things we can do to avoid feeling burnout.

Here are some helpful tips you might need to know:

Observe yourself and think of the things that triggered the burnout. Then, list it down and remember how many times you encounter those thoughts.

Talk to your close friends or join a support group with the same dilemma.

Write down your thoughts and feelings.

Don’t hesitate to ask for help from other caregivers. The respite services are made for these kinds of situations. We offer respite care service and if you need our assistance, contact us.

Try different activities with your patient once in a while. Or try one, even on your own.

You can also utilize the help of social media reels or TikTok to document your caregiving journey because while doing so, you’ll get to meet other people in the same situation. They will encourage and let you vent out even on social media platforms.

There are other things you can think of, but these are the suggestions we gathered from other caregivers.

We hope this information helps you and you’ll stay strong and hopeful while taking care of your loved ones.
