When am I allowed time to work on me. I am bipolar yet I am taking care of many around me. I told my husband I am stressed and need a break. He laughed and asked what reason do you have to be stressed. Lets see I'm taking care of our child pretty much on my own, I take care of him since he is in a wheelchair, I get sick or my BP gets out of control who cares , but if anyone else is sick or needs help I have to be there. I help him with every aspect of living that a normal person takes for granted. He acts sometimes like its nothing. I am burnt out. Is this normal for care givers?
