You take care of everyone's health but your own
You track everyone else's appointments, medications, symptoms, meals — your kids', your parents', your partner's — and your own health sits at the very bottom of the list. The checkup you keep postponing, the symptom you're ignoring, the exhaustion you push through. There's always someone who needs you more, and you always come last.
You are so good at caring for everyone else's health, and so practiced at putting your own dead last that you barely notice you're doing it. But you're not actually optional — the person everyone depends on running herself into the ground helps no one for long. The checkups you skip, the symptoms you ignore, the rest you never take: those aren't selfless, they're a slow erosion of the very person your people rely on. This is partly practical — actually fitting your own care in — but mostly it's permission: to matter, to be worth tending, to put yourself somewhere other than the bottom of the list.
