Being a caregiver can be rewarding, but it can also be hard—even if it’s a friend or family member. No matter how much you love that person, caregiving can leave you feeling exhausted, frustrated, discouraged, worried, resentful, and even angry. If you are feeling this way, you’re not alone. The good news is that there are caring, understanding professionals available to provide support and find the help you need. To learn more, contact your local Family Caregiver Support Program.
