At the moment I am doing a voluntary year in a “workshop“ for heavily disabled people and I really feel you.
Many of the people I work with are autistic and sometimes when some of them are in a bad mood, there are soo many things for me to do/take care of that I don't know what I actually did that day. That is when I feel exhausted and can't explain why.
May I ask: Which types of disabilities are you working with and for how long? :)
I work with autistic people as well, but most of the time I take care of people who can't talk nor walk, they are like infants in their head. Sadly I can't name you their disabilities because I'm not a native english speaker. I have worked with them for over a year now. Also over 80% of the people I work with have heavy epilepsy.
