caregiver fatigue
I have such caregiver burnout, I skimmed a stupid article on Facebook this morning about nice things to do with for your partner who is struggling with mental illness and my gut reaction was immediate nope nope nope
caregiver fatigue
I am deliberately limiting the depths of my connections now because I know I cannot be a good support system for anyone else and I feel shallow and irritated with myself and the world.

@smallesttiger I hear you. I've been going through rounds of this lately. There's more pain in the world than I can soothe on my own, more than any of us can manage by ourselves. One of the hardest lessons I've ever had to learn is "put your own oxygen mask on first." It flat-out sucks, but it's there because if you can't take care of yourself, taking care of others burns resources you don't have and can't easily get back. Please, be well, hug my sis, and take care of yourself.
