Compassion Fatigue is a little known illness, but affects millions of lives everyday.

If you are a caregiver in a professional, voluntary, home care or support worker environment you are at risk.

Do you:

• Have problems sleeping (wake up and feel tired before you get out of bed?)
• Feel overwhelmed
• Feel undervalued
• Get more emotional, more easily than before (tears and/or anger)
• Cut yourself off socially (even from people you like)
• Lose interest in yourself
• Feel like you are running on empty

You are not alone, and it is not your imagination. Carers are tough and loyal, battling on when others give up, but caring for others without caring for yourself is going to cause you many problems.

Compassion Fatigue is often misdiagnosed as stress, anxiety or depression, it is all of these; plus It is self-corrosive, eating you away from the inside.

Learning to value yourself and your dreams as much as you value those of others, no guilt, no excuses and saying no are essential for your well being and for good patient care.
