I just don’t know if this is a normal reaction for someone who is overworked and tired of dealing with this 24/7 or if I need to find someone else to be with.
I can guarantee you that it takes a strong person to stay taking care of someone who has any kind of health issue for the long term. All this focus upon the person who is not well, and little or no respite for the caretaker, can burn out their energies. If you think that you are not well, and you've used up one person, do you think it is right to go find someone else's energies to then use up?
Fix yourself. Or rather, find out what it is that you can do/not do to find your innate health. I'm going to point the way here . . . search on the Internet for something called the "three principles" of mind-thought-consciousness. These are the principles that once understood, can clue you in on how you create your psychological reality. You don't have to be anxious all the time. You can realize that it's all just "thought in the moment." You are covering up your innate health with a bunch of thinking, a bunch of thinking that you believe in and take seriously. You don't have to do that. Anyway, here's a couple of links to get started: Video:
