A syndrome is a set of symptoms that consistently manifest together.<\/p>\n<h2>CSS is characterized by these symptoms:<\/h2>\n<h4>Isolation<\/h4>\n<p>Licensed marriage and family therapist<a href=\"https:\/\/coachingthroughchaos.com\/\"> Colleen Mullen, PsyD, LMFT<\/a>, of San Diego describes this as \u201cwithdrawing from your normal activities and avoiding others so you don\u2019t have to keep talking about your life.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeline.com\/blog\/caregiver-burnout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Learn more about dealing with caregiver isolation.<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Trouble sleeping<\/h4>\n<p>It can be difficult to get to or stay sleeping because of hypervigilance, being easily frustrated, developing a quick temper, back and shoulder pain, etc., according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/iwaichler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iris Waichler, MSW, LCSW<\/a>, author of Role Reversal: How to Take Care of Yourself and Your Aging Parents. Instead of waking up restored, you wake up still tired.<\/p>\n<h4>Difficulty processing<\/h4>\n<p>Executive functioning &#8212; our ability to focus, organize, prioritize and manage our life and time &#8212; is impaired. \u201cSometimes when we become overwhelmed, we don&#8217;t even know where to start to ask for help or who to ask,\u201d explains Houston-based <a href=\"https:\/\/heightsfamilycounseling.com\/amy-rollo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amy Rollo, MA LPA, LSSP, LPC-S<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Compassion fatigue<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cCompassion fatigue is often described as a loss of caring about those you are serving, often to a degree of feeling irritated by their problems,\u201d Rollo says. \u201cEveryone is susceptible to burnout, only those giving of themselves as helpers and caregiver experience compassion fatigue.\u201d This doesn\u2019t mean that you\u2019ve lost your sense of compassion, but that it has been overwhelmed by the demands of constant caregiving.<\/p>\n<h4>Anger and frustration<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s not unusual to depersonalize, \u201cbecoming cynical and sarcastic about the person you are caring for and\/or flying off the handle over small things the person you are caring for does,\u201d notes Jill Johnson-Young, LCSW, of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centralcounselingservices.net\/jill-johnson-young\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Central Counseling Services<\/a> in Riverside, Calif. You may also experience reduced accomplishment, \u201ca sense of hopelessness or pointlessness \u2013 \u2018why bother cleaning it up, it\u2019s just going to happen again\u2019 or \u2018does any of this really matter?\u2019\u201d. The feelings cause frustration. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeline.com\/blog\/how-to-deal-with-conflict-when-caring-for-an-aging-family-member\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Read about dealing with conflict.<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Guilt<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cGuilt, which often arises when a person feels that they have done something wrong, insufficient, or socially inappropriate, can create a great deal of stress\u201d explains clinical psychologist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drcarlamanly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carla Marie Manly<\/a>, author of <i>Aging Joyfully<\/i>. \u201cFeeling guilty does not necessarily mean that anything wrong or inappropriate has been done, only that one feels &#8212; or is made to feel by others &#8212; that guilt is an appropriate response. In general, a greater sense of feeling guilty will result in a greater level of stress.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Physical complaints<\/h4>\n<p>Caregivers can experience loss of appetite, increased use of alcohol and other substances, and weight gain or loss. According to Waichler, they may also develop medical problems like high blood pressure, headaches and intestinal difficulties. Back problems also are a major concern for caregivers who move or lift the people they care for.<\/p>\n<h4>Mental health conditions<\/h4>\n<p>Left untreated, this blend of symptoms can also impact our mental health, leading to anxiety and depression. Anxiety includes feelings of worry and tension, and physical issues like high blood pressure. Depression can include loss of interest and enjoyment life, less energy, difficulty concentrating, dramatic changes in weight or sleep, and feeling worthless or guilty. These are serious conditions that may require treatment with therapy.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to ignore any one or two of these signals, but resist that temptation. \u201cI\u2019ve seen caregivers get so wrapped up in their role that they skip their own doctor\u2019s appointments and neglect their own medical health,\u201d Michael Bobrowski, director of social services for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwilz8yo7ZDnAhUoUt8KHR3ED_wQFjAAegQIBBAC&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Funitedhebrewgeriatric.org%2F&amp;usg=AOvVaw1E5eecWXs9iDe_HtwuxQoz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United Hebrew of New Rochelle<\/a>. \u201cCaregiving can be emotionally draining and physically taxing. Ignoring our own stress can be harmful to our health, and potentially, the health of the loved ones we are caring for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You may feel like you can address these situations on your own, or that you don\u2019t have the time or resources to get treatment. Talk to a nurse or doctor about the realities of your situation and accept the help they offer. This may feel awkward or uncomfortable at first, but you deserve to be cared for, too.<\/p>\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeline.com\/blog\/5-ways-to-reduce-the-financial-and-emotional-cost-of-caring-for-aging-parents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">time and money are tight<\/a>, carve out a few minutes to speak with the nurse at your doctor\u2019s office. These professionals aren\u2019t just skilled at providing healthcare. They often know about opportunities to access programs that keep costs down or take little time, like prescription drug discounts, online therapy services, affordable health clinics and community resources for you and your older relations.<\/p>\n<p>Getting the care you need isn\u2019t a sign of weakness \u2013 it\u2019s a sign of good decision-making and strength. The most effective caregivers seek out physical, emotional and mental care to balance everything. Even superheroes get assists.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don\u2019t disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of what you read here.
