Looking after someone with M.E. can be tough. If your mum, dad, brother or sister is ill, caring for them might mean that you have to take days off school, and you probably don’t have time to see your friends.
It’s only natural to feel worried, upset, scared or angry about this, so it’s important that you look after yourself and get some support.
The Young Carers website has lots of information and advice and can put you in touch with Young Carers Projects near to where you live.
A day in the life of Eddie (video below) was produced by Brighton & Hove Young Carers and is about Eddie caring for his mum, who has M.E.
