Hi @Ronzi and welcome to the forums. 

I can hear that you're overwhelmed, tired, and feel as if you have no way out. That sounds really tough. Caring for others can really take a toll🥀. 

I'm very glad that you have found this forum and that you've felt able to post and I do hope that you will feel the support of the community during this time🌟. 

I did also just want to share some resources that you may not have heard of: 

Carer Gateway on 1800 422 737 or for immediate support Lifeline 13 11 14 

I hope this helps 🌿

Thankyou so much, i am just so emotional right now 😞 definitely overwhelmed and more sad that my husband feels like he’s being a burden on me 😢

@Ronzi this is how I regulate difficult emotions of overwhelm, sadness and tiredness. I turn to acupressure and as well as a rejuvenative yoga posture known as legs up the wall, meridian tracing and crystals

The acupressure points work like an escape valve and enable me to face difficult situations involving irritability anger and overwhelm. 

The legs up the wall rejuvenative posture is easy to learn its been a reliable and trusty tool in my self care kit for years. You lie on your back sit with your sit bones to the wall and move your legs up the wall until they are vertical while still on your back and your body is in the shape of an "L" You lie here for 15 to 20 minutes and you will feel as if you have come home to yourself and are completely replenished and refreshed.

Another thing you can do is sweep your lung meridian. Lungs hold sadness and sweeping the meridian will alleviate the sadness. Your hands are electromagnetic and can coax the meridian in its proper flow.

I have lived with chronic fatigue and love working with Pietersite crystal. Crystals may be woo-woo to a lot of people but they known infuse your aura with electromagntic energy which translates into physical changes in the body.

Pietersite puts a protective bubble around me and allows me to rest in a beautiful cocoon of stillness. No matter how exhausted I've been Pietersite gently nourishes my bodys energy and allows recouperation and restfulness. Its known as the chronic fatigue stone in the crystal world.

Don't take it from me try it if it vibes with you and see for yourself. You must however know how to cleanse and charge it first otherwise it won't work. Its imperative you do that.

I don't know if some of these suggestions resonate or not but its what I use as I have lived with burnout and these all work for me ❤️
