I took care of my mom, who had demenita, for seven years. I was an only child, and we lived out in the country, so had no help. One thing that helped me was photography. I looked for beauty every day. And amazing beauty was all around me. A flower, a bird, a a web with dew on it, a leave that looks like a heart, a bee gathering nectar. Find a piece of beauty each day. Hang on to that for the day. And when tomorrow comes, find beauty again. And always, create your day with love, kindness, joy and gratitude for all things great, small, or unseen who share this planet with us. Because we are ALL made from God's same stardust.

Uncanny. I just requested a few days off because I'm a caretaker of a woman with bad dementia and agitation. She EXHAUSTS me. Thank you.

I am raising my three grandkids now and still have 3 of my own at home... I totally relate to this... great talk...care giving burnout is real.

6 years on the street as a taxi cab councilor for the homeless. Myself homeless at the time. Now in sober living house and I see the fatigue in my housing manager and the owner of the program. I see it in Valeo transitional staffing case managers. I see it in any volunteers in all associates from the Rainbow Center to Greenpeace. This needs to go VIRAL NOW!

Thank you for your energy

All my plans for myself have been put on hold ever since my mother had a stroke and I had to step up to help take care of her with my dad and my younger brother. I thought I was doing something really good until I saw myself in the mirror. I looked so tired. And it didn't take long for me to realize and feel that I have been physically, emotionally and mentally exhausted. I have neglected myself and I realized how much time I have invested in others and none for myself. I haven't seen my friends for years except my best friend. Recently, I have been suffering from hair loss due to stress and I have been quite irritable. I have cared so much about others but they haven't really cared much to ask how I am doing, not even my own parents. It's frustrating. Listening to this just made me cry. Thank you so much for this video. I will see to it that I take some time for myself and invest more in myself. Thank you so much. Sending love.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! PLEASE SHARE WITH ANY AND ALL CARE GIVER.

I am way pass compassion fatigue, It has me completely burnt me out, fried through, I hope someday I will recover. 🙄 I am always called to take care of a family member for months, my health went and a counselor told me to stop for a while cause I am too damn drained.

Caring for a child too I believe leads to this.

Bom dia muito bacana parabéns pelo vídeo! Este vídeo ficou muito bom e mesmo morando na roça mais selvagem que possa existir ; Aqui nos Andes nós reservamos tempo para assitir seus vídeos! Onde moramos é tão isolado que tem ursos e onças e para chegar a nossa casa um verdadeiro rally, a base aqui é a troca porque estamos distantes 8h do primeiro lugar para comprar qualquer coisa!

I think teachers may suffer from this too!

I don't care if I drop dead anymore. I've got to re-think this situation.

Dam check check check

This's the TEDx I remember. Non political message that we all appreciate. Welcome back Tx.

Actually, there is no such thing as compassion fatigue. Burnout and other mental disorders arise from empathic distress, which arises from excessive empathy. Compassion, on the other hand, generates positive feelings of love and warmth and strengthens personal resources. Furthermore, it can help to prevent or reduce empathic distress. For further information have a look on the research of Tania Singer and Matthias Bolz (2013).

The homeless have created this feeling for all people in California.
