Caregiver burnout is more than everyday stress. Avoid it by taking care of your own physical and mental health. Eat right, get enough sleep, exercise, find a support system and remind yourself that you are doing your best. Because if you don’t prioritize your well-being, you can’t care for your loved one.

Instead of spending a week cruising around the Caribbean with her husband and daughters, Shelley Davis woke up in the intensive care unit. But she knew she was lucky to be alive. Shelley had a stroke caused by a carotid artery dissection. Fortunately the cruise ship hadn't left port yet, and Shelley was able to get to a hospital quickly.

Surgery was the first step in a long recovery process that included regaining strength in her right side and relearning to speak. Three years after the stroke, Shelley returned to work as an occupational therapist, helping stroke survivors relearn how to do everyday activities.

"My patients get so frustrated because they want to be totally recovered as fast as possible, but I know from being in that situation that you have to take it a day at a time, a week at a time," she said. "Every year, I'm still progressing with speech and strength. It's nice to have that unique perspective of being a health care provider and a stroke survivor because I can empathize and show them that recovery is possible."
