When being functional as a caregiver is not the same as being okay
I’m a therapist and a long-term caregiver.
In this episode I speak about what doesn’t show up as a crisis, but quietly reshapes daily life.
About being “on” even when nothing is happening.
About functioning without an off-switch.
About how carrying becomes normal, and how competence can hide the cost.
This isn’t a teaching episode.
There’s no advice, no method, no solution.
Just a lived reality that many people recognise, long before they would ever name it as a problem.
If this stays with you, you can reach out to me via DM or WhatsApp.
If you prefer to read along quietly, I write once a week here:
