The loving care that\u2019s provided to someone else can cause the caregiver to suffer emotionally and physically. This is a common problem known as compassion fatigue.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What is Compassion Fatigue?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This term is often used when people are helping a loved one who is injured, ill or traumatized. Caregivers usually have the best intentions while trying to assist, not realizing that someone who is elderly, sick, or incapacitated can be an overwhelming burden \u2013 mentally, physically and emotionally.<\/p>\n<p>Compassion fatigue may be similar to burnout, but it\u2019s more unpredictable. Burnout may occur over time, whereas compassion fatigue can arrive suddenly. Burnout might be so severe that someone will even have to give up a job or even an occupation. With compassion fatigue, caregivers can be treated much more easily with specific things to do for self-care while providing for a loved one.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Respite Care for Compassion Fatigue<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s a must for caregivers to rejuvenate between their caregiving shifts, or they may suffer intense emotional pain and physical fatigue. Caregivers must be on the watch for symptoms and stress management tools to continue to live healthily. Caregivers need to ask for assistance before things get too hard.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #2b285f;text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Common Symptoms of Compassion Fatigue:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Withdrawal, isolation, or feelings of being disconnected<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Apathy or a lower threshold for compassion or empathy<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Problems arising in other relationships<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Feelings of inequity toward the caregiver relationship<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Loss of meaning in caregiving<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Destructive behaviours or substance abuse<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Unexplained headaches<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Difficulty sleeping<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Weight loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Anger, irritability, anxiety<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Chronic exhaustion (emotional and physical)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000\">Feelings of dread, impending disaster or guilt<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Of course, you probably have love and compassion for the one you care for, but that\u2019s not enough to prevent emotional and physical fatigue.
