So much. My Nan has cancer and her son (my uncle) is her carer, but we've just found out he has cancer too and not long to live. I am my dad's carer (everyone is sick in my family) and I worry about who will care for her once my uncle passes. I'm only 25 and have never had a job, a proper relationship or traveled overseas, which are all things I really want to do, but I feel like I'll be in the position of caring for both my Dad and Nan for a long time yet. My brother lives in Melbourne and keeps telling me I should move away and start my own life but I can't just leave the people in my life who need me and go off to follow selfish dreams. I feel purposless, like my only role in life is to care for others, whilst feeling like no one is really caring for me or my needs. I don't even have friends to talk to about it all. I worry what will happen in the near future, if I'll get an opportunity to chase the dreams I want to or if I'll be forever shadowed by my brother success and my families illnesses. I feel I'm seem as "convenient" or "inconvenient" but never really seen as a person with needs and wants. I don't want sympathy or pity, but if someone has advice, is experiencing the same thing, or knows some helpful coping mechanisms I can use I'd be very grateful. Thanks for reading if you did.

TL;DR I'm a carer and worry about my family a lot. I also worry if I'll achieve anything in life or just be a convenience that people will forget about when I'm no longer useful. (Sorry about format, on mobile)
