If you’re not sure if you’re a carer or whether you need support, see if any of the Time to think about you questions apply to you, or to someone you know. If they do, think about visiting your local carer service or making an appointment to talk with your GP.
Time to think about you prompts
– Do you feel you do not have enough time for yourself?
– Has caring stopped you from doing what you enjoy?
– Has caring made it difficult for you to work or do whatever else you have to do?
– Is your own health affected as a result?
– Do you feel unable to cope?
– Do you feel you are under too much pressure?
– Do you have no one to talk to about your concerns?
– Do you feel low?
– Are you sleeping poorly?
– Are you not eating properly?
– Are you tearful, angry and/or anxious?
– Do you have concerns about your own memory?
If your answer is yes to any of these, you can visit your GP or your local carer service for support.
