Triggers

How I recognise the triggers that make me feel stressed and overwhelmed

Write about the times you find it hard to cope as a carer, and anything that has helped.

Examples:

• I am really tired and am not sleeping well. I can try: having a bath, playing calm music, meditating
• I don’t feel like the professionals are helping me to cope. I can try: making a list of things to discuss before the next appointment
• I am worried about money. I can try: setting a realistic budget, getting some support from a money advice service
