Utilize resources like free workshops, support groups, and professional advice. These resources offer practical advice and support from people who understand exactly what you're going through.
In conclusion, while caregiving is a challenging role, particularly for those looking after loved ones with dementia, understanding and addressing the signs of burnout early can make a significant difference. You are not alone in this journey; help and support are available, and taking the time to care for yourself is just as important as caring for your loved one.
