(social exhaustion anon here)

at the moment I think the pink-red + yellow rocks are reminding me that I get into these situations because I really love to be able to help and be there for people... but I probably promise too much. it's a big problem if I hurt myself by pushing too hard,,, or if I don't show up for people who were counting on me to do something important... or both... and yeah I have been neglecting my health a bit trying to do it all :')

I'll be reflecting on this... and I'll take more care of myself until I get back in my sanctuary rock era... thank you, and thank you to the rocks as well <3

Hey, thanks for the follow-up anon! I’m happy to hear your thoughts and how applicable it seems!

I definitely am in the same camp as you with a tendency to overcommit and to push myself too hard for others.

Glad to hear you’re taking care of yourself! If you’re the one taking care of all of these other people, then you need to take care of yourself or else you can’t help them either! (Though of course you deserve to be taken care of for your own sake!!)

Have you heard the word of my lord and savior “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents”? This is my new recommendation to my fellow people who give up too much taking care of others… it’s a great book.

I wish you the best and hope things get better for you soon!
