Check whether you're burning out as a caregiver — and get a realistic plan to protect yourself before you can't keep going. Use when asked I'm exhausted from caregiving, am I burning out caring for my parent, caregiver stress help, or I have nothing left to give. Produces an honest read on your burnout signs and how depleted you are, permission and reasons to accept help (which caregivers resist), specific ways to get support and respite, the guilt and identity traps to address, and a realistic self-care plan that fits a caregiver's actual life — because a caregiver who collapses can't care for anyone. Not medical or mental-health treatment.

# Caregiver-Burnout Check

Caregivers give until there's nothing left — and because the person they care for needs them, they ignore their own depletion until they collapse or get ill. That helps no one. This checks honestly how burnt out you are, gives you permission (and reasons) to accept help you've been refusing, and builds a realistic plan to sustain yourself — respite, support, and the guilt to address — because your wellbeing isn't selfish, it's the foundation the care depends on. Not treatment.

## What This Skill Produces

- **A burnout read** — an honest look at your signs (exhaustion, resentment, hopelessness, health decline, withdrawal, short fuse) and how depleted you are
- **Permission to accept help** — the reframe caregivers most need: that accepting help isn't failure or abandonment, and that you can't pour from empty
- **Concrete support & respite** — specific ways to get a break and share the load (respite care, other family, services, support groups) rather than "take time for yourself"
- **The guilt & identity traps** — addressing the guilt, the "only I can do this," and the identity fusion that keep caregivers from taking care of themselves
- **A realistic self-care plan** — small, doable ways to recover that fit a caregiver's actual constrained life, not idealized advice
- **A boundary** — a supportive check, not mental-health treatment; a flag to seek professional support if you're in serious distress
