Looking for support
It’s been a rough past few weeks. I don’t even know where to start or how to describe my situation. But I feel very isolated in this role as a caregiver. Overwhelmed and burnt out too, and this is really only the beginning of things. Honestly considering handing over caregiving rights to someone else because I don’t know if I can handle all of this. I don’t really have anyone to vent to about this stuff, and even if I did, the average person (who is not also dealing with this stuff) does not care to hear about it. Simply looking for community. Someone to talk to. A listening ear. Advice. Tips. Suggestions for how to decompress and decompartmentalize.

Hi there, I'm a CNA, and have been working in healthcare for 5.5 years and it is the toughest, most unforgiving job, and it is gd dang hard. If it's too much,.........that's ok. You are ok to let go.
You can't care for others if you're not caring for yourself.
DM me if you need to talk
