Is there such a thing as carers burnout?

It hit me like a tonne of bricks before, a friend posted it on her timeline about carers burnout, so I done a bit of googling, i have a child with a disability, partner that is sick another son with severe mental health issues, over the last few years I have popped to the doctors a few times, I cannot rememer the last time I was happy or the last time I had energy.

I tried antidepressants and did not like them, could i actually be the fact I am burntout?

Your situation sounds really tough physically and emotionally Flowers What would help you the most? Have you been to carer support groups?

stressedsideways, I am not sure to be honest, I have not been to any carer support groups but I will try.
