Two energy drinks a day. Two 24 oz mugs of Starbucks French Roast coffee as well. Still...nothing helped. I was exhausted from caring for my FASD adopted 3-year-old and two other adopted kids with trauma histories. My body hurt constantly, I gained 40 pounds in a year and my brain felt like it just stopped working. Emotionally I was going from 0 to 100 in 2 seconds. I knew I needed to do something and fast. #caregiverburnout #fostercare #adoption #specialneedskids #specialneeds Caregiver Burnout, Adoptive Parents, Chronic Stress, Improve Mood, Special Needs Kids
