Being a carer often includes taking on roles and responsibilities to help a loved one in need.
Helping someone with their personal, medical and financial needs can come at a cost, and carers often struggle to find time for themselves. This lack of time and extra responsibilities can result in feelings of anxiety, stress and even depression.
When it comes to dealing with a mental health issue it’s often really hard to know where to start.
Lots of things get in the way. Fear, uncertainty and stigma all play a part.
We often second-guess ourselves and question whether our concerns are valid. Am I really feeling this way? Is it just me? Am I exaggerating what is going on here?
