caregiver fatigue 

I don’t like being that person, it’s never how I’ve thought of myself— i’ve always been the person who listens and supports and helps. But the thought of putting in a lot of extra emotional energy into someone who is incapable of doing anything but feeling sad, where nothing I do ever makes a difference for years, is crushing. I feel drained and burned out on caring.
