Thinking of you. I know its hard but try and sleep a little more. When the days bleed into the weeks and months and years, even all the little things feels overwhelming and unbearable. I can relate because I got to the point where I didn't even want to get out of bed some days. Please know we are all here to listen. Sending you hugs.
A person on a health-oriented podcast I was listening was saying that the only New Yea's resolution most people need to make is to get enough sleep, as once you do that other things become much easier. That makes sense. In fact, I'm following my own advice and going to bed now! ;)
Sleep makes a huge difference in being able to deal with everything else. Sometimes you just have to put a hard stop to things and let your body recharge. Otherwise the other stuff won’t get done well.
I'd agree that getting sleep is vital. I'm also learning it's a challenge because as a relative newcomer to caregiving, either the act of caregiving or the emotional fallout from it have totally thrown my sleep patterns out of whack.
