If you grew up always putting others first, caregiving and parenting can feel deeply draining.
Not because you are failing, but because your nervous system never learned what it feels like to be cared for.
You may feel guilty taking time for yourself. You may find it hard to rest, to ask for help, or to say no.
When you were young, your worth may have been tied to how much you could give. So now, slowing down can feel unsafe.
This is a tender place. And it deserves compassion.
You are allowed to rest.
You are allowed to have needs.
You are allowed to be supported.
