You have official permission to:

Skip the family dinner where someone will definitely say "have you tried being more consistent?"
Let the dishes sit. The dishes will survive.
Order pizza again. You kept a human alive today. That counts.
Cry in the parking lot before you go in. Cry in the parking lot after. Trust me, that parking lot has seen things.
Say "I don't know" to your kid's doctor without feeling like you failed a test you didn't even know you were taking.
Go to bed at 8:30pm and feel zero guilt about it.
Tell exactly one person what's actually going on instead of saying "we're hanging in there."

This is not a self-care lecture. This is just a reminder that you are doing a genuinely hard thing, and you are allowed to be human while you do it.

What's on your permission slip today?
