There's a question most family caregivers never get asked: how are YOU doing?
If you're caring for someone, you're one of 63 million Americans doing the same — about 1 in 4 adults.
Four signs worth checking honestly:
• Tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix
• Short-tempered over small things
• You've stopped seeing friends
• You're skipping your own doctor visits
Four or more? That's burnout — not weakness.
And respite care exists. It's easier to find than most people think. Start with the Eldercare Locator: 1-800-677-1116.
Taking care of yourself is part of taking care of them.
