If unpaid carers are being asked by professionals if they’ve thought about ending their life – then something is clearly wrong about the way unpaid carers are being treated 🧵
When you became an unpaid carer did you realise you might struggle to get breaks, that you’d have to continue to work even when you felt unwell.  Imagine knowing that you wouldn’t get a break from your job, that you had to work every day of the year, 24 hours a day regardless 🧵
