Family caregivers play an integral part in the health and wellness of their loved ones. They also shoulder an enormous amount of responsibility on a daily basis, which can quickly lead to stress and burnout. If the nonstop activities of caregiving are leaving you feeling stressed and overwhelmed, Visiting Angels® Portland is here to help with our companion care services.

Recognizing the Signs of Caregiver Stress

More often than not, family caregivers are so focused on their loved one’s care that they neglect their own health and needs, which can quickly lead to stress and caregiver burnout. If you are a family caregiver, watch for these warning signs of caregiver stress:

  • Insomnia or excessive sleeping

  • A significant change in weight

  • Feeling constantly tired

  • Abusing alcohol or drugs, including prescriptions

  • Excessive smoking

  • Feeling hopeless, short-tempered or anxious

  • Avoiding friends, family, or activities you once enjoyed

  • An increase in headaches, backaches, and illness
