0:00I am probably the cover girl of caregiver syndrome.
0:02I was so driven to not say no to people and patients that I actually wasn't even consciously aware of how much pain that I was in.
0:09As these symptoms started to grow, you just leaned in and just, with your own stubborn willpower, just pushed through these days.
0:17I need to be there for everyone and feeling that caregiver guilt, but at the same time, to be a caregiver, you have to take care of yourself.
0:23I was also living in mold.
0:25And then finally one day, I woke up and I'm like, I'm fed up.
0:27I'm going to take the line that self-care is not selfish and I'm going to figure out what's going on.

0:57I'm really proud of you because maybe my message inspired you, but you really went on this journey by yourself.
