I am a caregiver.

I work 6 days a week from 8 to 8 and I already suffer with anxiety. I work with seniors who have Alzheimer's and dementia I have been feeling really stressed and slight depressed.

I want to take some time off from work but can't afford to. What can I tell my doctor?

  I read "I cannot afford to" as "I don't get paid sick leave". Where are you located? There may be alternative options depending on locale.

  I'm not surprised, given the hours you are working. That's unreasonably long hours for what's bound to be a stressful job anyway.

Tell your doctor what you told us. They will ask additional questions, and may recommend some medical leave time and/or may have other suggestions for stress management.
