I feel guilty admitting that I'm exhausted
I've been caring for my husband at home for almost three years, and lately I feel completely worn out. I love him dearly and would never want him to think I'm frustrated with him, but sometimes I find myself wishing I could have just one normal day again. Then I feel guilty for even thinking that way because I know he can't control what is happening to him. How do other caregivers deal with the guilt and exhaustion without feeling like they're abandoning the person they love?

Feeling Overwhelmed - Need Support
I've been caring for my mom for 3 years now and lately I'm feeling completely exhausted. Between work, caregiving, and trying to maintain my own life, I feel like I'm drowning. How do you all manage the emotional toll? I know I need to take care of myself but I feel guilty whenever I take a break.
