The amount of time and energy I have put into caregiving equates to a third of my life at this point and I feel so alone. Who notices and who cares? It feels like noone. I feel ignored and disrespected by others in regard to my role as a caregiver. From family that are MIA, neighbors/friends complaining to medical staff treating me like I am an annoyance. I am drained emotionally and worse I feel like it is never good enough. I am in such a vulnerable place emotionally it worries me.
You don't give us many details like who you're caring for and why so we really can't give you any detailed responses, so perhaps you'll come back and fill in the missing details.
I do hope that the person you are caring for appreciates all that you're doing for them, and if they don't, then it may just be time to step away and let the chips fall where they may.
Caregiving is not for everyone, and it may not be for you. So please take care of yourself as you matter too.
Can you provide more details about who you are caring for, for how long, and why? This will help us give you the best support and guidance.
