I can only imagine how overwhelming it must feel at times, but hearing that you’ve built a support system is really heartening. Having people who understand and uplift you can make a huge difference.
I completely relate to the importance of self-care. It’s often easier said than done, right? I’ve found that even small moments dedicated to myself—like going for a walk or just sitting quietly with my thoughts—really help. It’s those little breaks that can sometimes reset everything for me. What kinds of self-care practices do you find work best for you?
