Ten Signs of Caregiver Burnout
Caring for elderly parents or other loved ones can be a demanding and challenging responsibility. The demands of being a caregiver can lead to overwork and self-neglect. Overworked and self-neglect can impact your health, especially after years of caregiving. Caregiver-related health issues are commonly referred to as burnout.
If you are a caregiver, here are ten signs that may indicate you are burnout: –
- Constantly exhausted (physically and mentally)
- Forgetfulness
- Difficulty processing information
- Easily frustrated and irritable
- Impatient
- Feeling hopeless
- Socially withdrawn or isolation
- Overeating or loss of appetite
- Lack of sleep or excess sleep
- Anxiety or depression
If you are experiencing caregiver burnout, seek help. Talk to someone! Also, try playing calming music frequently. Take breaks and time for self-care. Regular exercise, such as brisk walking, can improve your feelings. 
Laughter can also enhance your mood. Reconnect with friends or family members and do something fun and funny.
