We all get burnt out. Let's talk about it. What's going on that has you feeling so burnt out? And what do you do when you're feeling burnt out?

@Alexus, writing your feelings down in a journal is an excellent way to deal with stress and burnout. I hope you find this activity to be helpful to you. I use journaling as an activity too. Thank you for sharing. We are so grateful you are a part of this community. Blessings and Peace, Kristin Martin, Community Moderator

I use "Sweat Theropy" to cope with being a 24/7 caregiver.

Strength training with dumb bells, resistance band and door frame pullup bar in the morning work for me. The best kind of exercise for anyone is the kind that they will do, number one priority is do not hurt yourself.
Having different things to do is very helpful. I like to fix things from Ceiling fans to Electric Trains and an old 1942 Willys Jeep. The weather has a way of deciding what gets fixed next. When I get tired of doing something I move on to something else.

I'm a retired disabled RN and care for Momma with dementia. Broke my back 25 yrs ago so mostly bedbound so life is difficult. Fortunately sister (MPOA) also a nurse helps when I say , ENOUGH! My critters also are my lifeline. Momma's nickname was triple threat,Southern Baptist, Republican from Texas, no control issues, smh. I worked alz lockdown units and worked for Florence Goodsell program helping folks stay at home as long as possible. But 24/7/365 is completely different from seeing patient for an hour every week. I tried journaling but not for me, did more than enough documentation while nursing, lol. Can't exercise the stress off so I watch A LOT of TV. Without my sister and her hubby (also a nurse) I would be looking for a snf for her. Which having worked in those before also I'd rather her stay home as long as possible. Just Pray she goes home before she forgets how to eat or becomes completely bedbound. Then it's more than I can do.
