In today’s episode, I’m talking about those unexpected challenges that come up while you are deep into caregiving.  Those ones that you just want to throw in the towel or run away.   But instead your forced into dealing with whether you want to or not.  

If you do it all everything yourself, what happens - stress, overwhelm, exhaustion and then your emotions start up - you get angry, and even resentful    You feel lonely and not appreciated.  You get frustrated and overwhelmed with all you have to do.  It becomes a downward spiral to burnout.   

 Burnout defined as “A state of emotional and physical exhaustion caused by a prolonged period of stress and frustration.
