Do you feel trapped?
Are you fighting a battle that you just don't think you can win?
Do you want to put your head in the pillow and sleep and sleep and sleep?
But, you have no choice. Things have to be done and you are the one who is selected to make sure they happen. You want help, but aren't sure how to accept it. You have had a bad experience with aides and it is easier to "do it myself".
Managing stress. How?
The "Powerful Tools for Caregivers" class teaches several steps in the process.
1. Recognize your warning signs of stress
2. Identify your source of caregiving stress
3. Identify what you can and cannot change
4. Take action to manage your stress
Legacy Caregiver Services from Portland, OR has developed a six-week class to provide caregivers with help in their journey. Google them. Look for classes in your area. The class is free to you and will give you a way out of that trapped feeling.
