Compassion Fatigue: the stress of caring to much.

[just5com]

Basically, compassion fatigue is the result of long term stress so one way to avoid it among caregivers specifically is for them to welcome help. Being too much overwhelmed can lead to compassion fatigue symptoms after some time. One of the supports that caregivers can welcome today is the use of assistive technological devices. The simple cell phone with SOS we offer is one of the helpful devices that caregivers can use, especially by the working family caregivers.

This is great - but can you refer me to a video for those of us living with someone who is mentally ill, sick, and dying?? What happens when you DON'T WANT TO BE A CAREGIVER AND LIFE GIVES THIS TO YOU????? There is just nothing out there to help us!
