Wow I relate to this so much! This was me, years ago when I was with my kids dad. I took on so much, constantly pouring into other people and never filling my own cup up. It leads to burnout for sure. I had to learn how to set my own boundaries, for my own mental wellbeing...and learn how to politely say no to things. Even to my kid. If its something that's going to stress me out or make me feel overburdened, I know its not for me. Easier said than done, I realize, at least at first. What I had to realize it is that I had to pour into myself first, so I could keep helping others, just not at the cost of my own wellbeing.

Its ok to let some things drop...and anyone who gets mad at you for having that boundary...only tells you one thing. They are the only ones benefiting from you having no boundaries.

*ok I am stepping off my soap box now 😅
