It sounds tough, and as you rightly said at the end, let's carry the load together. I think one of the main reasons for burnout in our society, is due to lack of community. That we lean on "I'll go it alone" because that's usually the way we've been taught. On top of that, growing up, being a woman and racialized, as you mention, plays a big role. Thanks for sharing something most of us experience at some point or more in our lives. And in most cases it's the body that tries to warn us that we have stretched too far and ignored our path for far too long.

That's a hell of a lot of stress and responsibility on your shoulders! 'Be kind to yourself' is an easy thing to say and a much harder thing to do. xx
