In response to: Any carers out there?
JupiterSenior Contributor
Hi @Bella1978 
I know this post has been around for a while but I noticed you hadn't got any responses. You are certainly not alone - there are many people on these forums who are in the role of carer. Being a carer sounds like such an emotional rollercoaster, and it's important you feel supported. Perhaps some of the following threads on the carers forum would be helpful to read and post in:
- "Looking after ourselves" thread here
- "Carers hints and tips for success" here
- "How do carers manage when they need themselves?" here
I hope these are a good starting point. Best wishes!
