If you're the primary caregiver for a family member, the load is real and it compounds quietly.
Signs you're running low
- Sleep and your own appointments keep getting skipped
- Irritability, dread, or a sense of being trapped
- Physical symptoms — headaches, getting sick more often
What actually helps
- Scheduled respite — recurring, not just emergency coverage
- Sharing tasks with other family members explicitly, in writing
- A support group; many are free and meet online
