Caregiver stress/burnout

Dec 27, 2009

I gained 40 lbs. back this past year.  My husband had a massive stroke due to bacterial endocarditis.  He had a mosquito bite that contracted a staph infection. (MRSA)  No other health problems and never drank or smoked.  Total shock to our family.  He was 39 years old .  So for 3 years I have been working and taking care of him.  I also take care of my father with dementia.  The stress is terrible at times and I numb the pain with food unfortunately.  It is a good thing I don't drink or smoke.  LOL   I need support and am miserable.
