What Is Caregiver Stress Syndrome?
Caregiver Stress Syndrome – The stress brought on by the unvarying, unending, unrelenting,care of a person who is totally or even partially reliant is insidious in that pulls out and chews up bits of the caregiver’s sense of self, self esteem, self worth, self confidence and self determination in barely noticeable increments. That is until one morning the caregiver wakes up after yet another night of too little sleep and notices that not only has their entire life as they knew it vanished, they too are gone, swallowed up by their role and no longer recognizable to themselves. The sense of isolation is profound, acute and overwhelming.
