24 and caregiver

Hi. I am 24 years old and a caregiver. I am under a lot of stress. I am really worried about my physical and emotional health. I feel very depressed. What to do? Anybody with experience?

Hi. I am a caregiver myself (30 years old). Caregiver stress is a common thing among caregivers. It is the emotional strain of caregiving. However, caring for another person makes me feel very positive and gives me a sense of purpose. To prevent caregiver stress you must think positive and take care of yourself. Contact your friends and family. Social activities can reduce stress. Exercise. You must get enough sleep and rest. Eat a healthy diet. Multivitamins can be very effective in reducing stress.
