Took care of everyone else
Struggled to be present outside of work
Had a “Why am I doing this?” moment
Doubted your own instincts
Fantasized about switching careers during a shift
Forgot what self-care even is
Avoided certain clients or situations to protect your energy
Questioned if you’re still making a difference
Ignored your own health needs to meet someone else’s
Found yourself irritable over tiny things
Felt like you had nothing left to give
Zoned out mid-conversation because your brain was overloaded
Said “I’m fine” but wasn’t
Cried in the car after a shift
Felt emotionally shut down
Didn’t have energy to hangout with friends or family
Forgetting to put yourself first
Thought about a client’s pain long after hours
Felt numb
Said “yes” when I wanted to say “no”
Felt alone
Said “It’s just a rough week” for the fifth week in a row
Got praised for being “strong” when you were actually struggling
Felt shame for needing help yourself
Experienced guilt for not feeling as compassionate as you used to
