While you’re caring for someone else, it may be easy to miss your personal needs. However, looking after your health and making time for yourself can help you feel a bit better and able to deal with your caring role.
Caring for a person with dementia can cause emotions of guilt, sadness, confusion, or anger. Not like with other conditions, it can be difficult to share these feelings with someone with dementia, leaving you feeling very isolated.
It’s important to acknowledge these emotions and to remember the fact that there’s no proper or wrong way to feel. In case you’re feeling anxious or depressed, or you are suffering to manage, we are here to support you with the care you need.
