I have always been a caregiver myself, and was a caseworker and an activity therapist in nsg. facilities. I am now retired. I have a lot of arthritis and use a walker and its very difficult for me to ask for help. I am so independent sometimes to a fault but am getting a little better. Its hard though with that type of personality. We always have been helping people and its so difficult to relinquish that role we have played so very long. I definately have trouble, and still want to do things even when its very difficult for me!!
Yes, I definately struggle...However if we always are so caring and ourselves so self sufficient, people will not know we need help sometimes either emotionally, spiritually or physically........sometimes we have to just let go!!!
