Family caregiver burnout and daily self-care balance

I decided to write here because lately I feel constantly tired while caring for my family member. I love being involved and helping every day, but over time the routine started affecting my sleep, mood, and even basic motivation. I often skip meals, forget about rest, and feel guilty whenever I think about taking time for myself. It seems like my whole day revolves around caregiving, and I am not sure how to stay supportive without completely draining my own energy. I wonder if others have felt the same and how they managed daily responsibilities without burning out emotionally and physically.
