There is a difference between falling apart and no longer being able to hold yourself together the old way.
Over-functioning women are praised for being strong when what they really are is over-responsible, overextended, and emotionally under-supported.
So now that your body is tired, your patience is thin and your old coping methods are not working like they used to, you think something is wrong.
Maybe nothing is wrong.
Maybe the version of you who survived by pushing, pleasing, fixing, and carrying
is simply too expensive to keep being.
That can feel scary. It can also be sacred. Not everything that shakes your identity is there to destroy you.
Some things are here to free you.
What if this season is not your breakdown but the end of pretending your old way still works?
