illness and caregiving

Having neuro-fatigue and migraines often makes it hard for me to work. And now, with me trying to do my part as a caregiver for my parents, it is even more challenging. 

It is hard enough trying to manage my own pain and weariness, but I feel the need to push past this struggle in order to do my part as a daughter. I realize my body is taking the brunt of my efforts as I've fallen ill (cough and flu) and it makes me even more exhausted than before. 

I think what's tough is that my condition is invisible, hence I am expected to buck up. What if my condition was evident? To be honest, I think I push myself a whole lot more too because I feel I can't prove that my condition is not all that great. 

I'm just drained right now. It's March and I'm already feeling burned out. Not good. I just wish I had answers but this is my learning curve, i guess.

Praying for wisdom, strength and rest.
