Hi, my name is Emma3688!
Hello everyone. I’m reaching out to see if any other carers have ever felt unappreciated or taken for granted. I care for three disabled individuals, and lately, it’s been overwhelming—one challenge after another, and it’s really starting to wear me down. I would love to hear from others who have experienced similar situations and learn how you managed to cope.

Hi @Emma3688 and welcome to the community! Really pleased you've joined us.
I'm so sorry to read how you're feeling at the minute. It's an amazing career choice to care for others, and it takes so much so it's completely understandable why you feel this way. @Bluebell21 has given some great insight there. It sounds like you very much need a break, and some time to recharge and look after you. 💛 Have you thought about booking a holiday and a change of scenery?
It really is an amazing job you're doing, caring for 3 people. Please make sure you give yourself some of that effort and care too.
