Caregiver support

Caregiver reactions

Feelings of fear, panic, anxiety, sadness, anger, shame, guilt, exhaustion are all normal emotions when caring for someone who is feeling suicidal, or has attempted suicide.

Everyone is different and getting the help that your family member or friend needs in times of crisis will create a wealth of different emotions. These can impact on your day to day activities, your own appetite, your sleep and will in turn affect the way you feel.

It is vitally important that you share with someone close to you and consider accepting a referral for carer support.
