When Helping Hurts: Surviving Caretaker Burnout in Recovery
Ever been so burned out from helping someone else that you lost yourself completely? I have. Caregiver burnout is real, ugly, and it doesn’t just go away when the crisis is over. I wrote about what it’s really like, how codependency keeps us trapped, and what actually helps (from someone who’s lived it, not just studied it). If you’re exhausted from always being the strong one—or if you love someone who is—read this. And if it hits home, please share it. Word of mouth is everything, and you never know who might need to hear they’re not alone. https://open.substack.com/pub/progressisprogress/p/when-helping-hurts-surviving-caretaker?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
