    I can certainly relate. I couldn't concentrate on anything. Over 6 years in this and I finally found a good therapist. It took me 3 tries but I found someone very knowledgeable about the different types of dementia. I desperately needed to talk with someone one on one who could understand. A local support group could also be helpful. There is one near me but the meeting time doesn't work for me. This is just my sharing of what has helped me.

    Sometimes, you need to step away from it all, even if just briefly. Burnout is real, and is hazardous to your health.
