Life doesn’t look or feel the way you wish it did.
Maybe on the outside, you’re holding it together.
But inside, you feel tired, overwhelmed, or quietly running on empty.
You’ve been doing your best — and it still feels like too much.
You may be showing up for everyone else while quietly running on empty, and your body and mind are starting to let you know they can’t keep doing this alone.
-
You’re the dependable one. The strong one. The one who shows up.
But when you need support, it feels like there’s no space for it — or no one notices.
-
Conversations leave you replaying what you said, what you should’ve said, or what you did wrong.
Even when you try your best, it somehow feels like you’re the one at fault.
-
You want to say no — or take a break — but the guilt shows up immediately.
You may feel selfish for needing rest, even when you’re exhausted.
-
Your body feels tense or overwhelmed, even when nothing obvious is happening.
You may notice moments of shutting down, spacing out, or feeling emotionally flat.
-
You look around and wonder why others seem to cope more easily.
It can leave you feeling behind, broken, or like you’re missing something everyone else has.
Maybe you’re tired of…
If any of this feels familiar, you’re not broken — and you’re not imagining it.
There are reasons this feels so heavy, and support can help.
