I posted as a newbie on here but can't find my post. ALL OF US CAREGIVERS suffer burnout and in my case suicidal thoughts and am seeing therapists and DR. BUT i don't think allot of these people can understand how bad it is for the caregiver. EVERYDAY i think about killing myself. THEN THEY TELL YOU TO CALL 988. I have been hospitalized trying to deal with this and my husband who is the cancer patient has freaked out with me discussing this when he is trying to focus on living so how backwards does this sound to all of you?

I can understand how you feel. I haven't reached that point but what I deal with really gets to me. Especially the CONSTANT moaning and groaning, honking and trying to get up nonexistent phlegm - ALL DAY, EVERY DAY on top of his mental deterioration.
I know I shouldn't let his adult children get to me, but when they are lining up to go for anything he has his name on after he passes (AND he is a long way from that right now), well that is one more thing that adds to my state now.
Like you say, every one tells you to get help. But getting help is difficult and expensive. H also makes it difficult.
