You can be healing and hurting at the same time.
You can be showing up for others and barely holding it together.
That’s recovery in real life.
🌀 Healing isn’t linear.
🌀 Regulation isn’t perfection.
🌀 You’re allowed to have messy, magical in-between days.

Burnout creeps in.
It isn’t a character flaw.
Burnout is your body saying:
“I’ve been holding too much for too long.”
And sometimes the most radical healing starts with:
A nap, a boundary, a whispered no more
Rest is not a reward. It’s a right.

“You’re so strong.”
“You always cope.”
“You’re amazing.”
Sometimes those words feel more like pressure than praise.
💭 Being the strong one can be isolating.
It’s okay to not have it together.
You’re allowed to fall apart and still be worthy.

🍂 Let’s talk grief in autumn.
Sometimes this season brings sadness we can’t name.
A sense of endings. Of time passing. Of losses unspoken.
It means you’re human.
Let yourself feel it
Softness is survival.

I’m not burning out because I’m weak.
I’m burning out because I’ve been strong for too long, without support or pause.
You’re not alone.
We don’t need to prove our worth through exhaustion.
We need permission to exhale.

Endings are sacred, even if they’re quiet.
Mark the close of September with gentleness, not judgement.
What did you hold that no one saw?
What do you choose to leave behind?
You don’t need to start October strong, just honest.

You can be the one who holds it all together,
and also the one who falls apart.
Being the “strong one” is lonely.
It’s also a survival strategy.
What if you didn’t have to be so strong all the time?
Just for today, let something heavy go.
