Being a caregiver is no joke. There is always a lot of tasks that needs to be done to ensure the safety and well-being of the person being taken care of. On top of that, there is also always a need to cope with behaviors. Sometimes, these tasks can become overwhelming and exhausting. This is one of the unpleasant realities of day to day caregiving, which is described in depth in One Caregiver’s Journey.

Because caregiving can sometimes be overwhelming, it is important to know your limits as a caregiver. Be realistic about how much of your time and yourself you can give. Do not pressure yourself into doing and being everything at once. As much as possible, break down your tasks into bite-sized solutions. Do everything that you need to do one at a time.
