Being in school full time and working full time is burning me down fast. My husband has Borderline Personality Disorder and my sister has Schizoaffective Disorder. Sister is Deaf and lives with my husband and I as well. These days I just wonder how to push through...but with God, I know I can keep going. He does not give me more than I can handle, right? Send me verses and/or advice how you get through your day as a caretaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now the more I try to do for myself, the pain becomes and then the more dependent I become on them.You need help of others outside the home.

All the different personalities, & just when you are tired from work or need some space to study, work at home is calling - food to prepare etc. Now I know that God does not ask of us more than we can do with His help. Thus my question to you is what of school & full time work, which `is burning you down fast,` is not of God but of your choosing? Could you do part-time work, could you do a lesser school schedule, etc. I think you need to rethink your whole priorities starting with yourself, (health) husband, sister, work, school work & see what you are able to do at this time. I think God is teaching you priorities & that you do not have to do everything NOW.Blessings, Marilyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
