Signs it is Time To Seek Respite Care Services in Norfolk

It is hard to properly care for another person if you are not first taking care of yourself. Here are some warning signs that you are on the verge of caregiver burnout:

• Declining Health. Spreading yourself too thin can have negative effects on your immune system. 
• You Become Irritable or Impatient. If you notice you are quick to become impatient or agitated, you are likely over-stressed.
• You Feel Sad. Feelings of sadness and guilt are common for caregivers, but it's important to realize when these feelings become too much. 
• A Sense of 'Missing Out'. Many caregivers experience a fear of missing out on their own lives. You may lose contact with friends, fail to keep up with your favorite hobbies, and just lose track of your own life goals in general. It is important to get back on track and find some time for yourself.
