Hi, my name is Ray and I thought I'd let you know a little bit about me, in order to let you know that you are not alone in your exhaustion.
Just like you I have suffered through mental and physical exhaustion. I have been to the edge and come back and I'm here to share with you some of the tips and tools that I have discovered along the way. Most importantly, I'm here to tell you that you are not alone and there is hope. That's what this site is for...HOPE!
My darkest time came as a result of caregiver stress. I had been caring for my ailing mother for quite some time when I started experiencing symptoms of severe emotional exhaustion. I started having chest pains everyday, all day, and I was given a cardiac stress test.
It came down to deciding to be a caregiver for my mother or preserving my own life. I hurt to this very day, because I had to put my mother in a nursing home. However, deep down, I know it was the right choice for me.
Whether you are feeling exhausted because of emotional stress like I was, or an underlying physical condition, I hope this website offers you some helpful tips for refreshing and finding the strength to move forward.
