Lost Connection
Anonymous Shy Moth #590 · General Confessions
I've been the caregiver for a few years now, taking care of someone who needs it. I don't have any fancy labels or titles for us, just two adults working together to make each other's lives better. We started off strong, with both of us feeling happy and content in our roles. But lately, something feels off. I feel like I'm drowning in responsibilities without the emotional support that used to be there. The connection we once shared has faded into a routine, and it's hard not to feel sad about it. I try my best every day, but sometimes I wonder if what we have is normal or just me overthinking things. Have you ever felt like this? Is it okay for me to feel lost when everything was supposed to be clear?
