A Reddit voice on bone-weary care
This episode looks at the line between ordinary caregiver exhaustion and depression, grounded in a public r/AgingParents post from a caregiver who described feeling "bone weary tired." Morgan and Robin walk through common warning signs, why guilt can hide the need for help, and practical next steps: talk with a doctor or therapist, ask one person for one concrete task, protect sleep when possible, and keep the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline close for moments of emotional crisis.
