It is imperative that you as a caregiver are taking care of yourself. Think about the message given when you are listening to an airplane safety speech: Put on your own mask before assisting others.
This is a hard principle to follow, but if you are not taking care of yourself, you are putting both yourself and your loved one at risk.
Friends: Make time for friends even if it is a simple text message.
Get outside: Fresh air and leaving the house are both very important.
Maintain a hobby: If you loved doing something before being a caregiver, continue to pursue that passion.
Speak to a professional: Being a caregiver is hard. Having someone listen to you can be the greatest gift.
