Looking after a loved one can have a negative effect on your emotions. You may feel stressed, overwhelmed, trained, angry and or guilty because of the changes to your life as a result of caring for a loved one. This can also be a very lonely place as well as making you upset due to the changes to relationship with the person you care for.
These feelings can be worsened when combined with other effects of caring like being tired, under financial pressure, or fighting for support of the person you care for.
