@chelseyr6: Unpopular opinion, but one I learned the hard way: You don’t owe anyone access to your time, attention, or energy. Being constantly available doesn’t make you kinder or more productive — it usually just makes you more exhausted. Protecting your energy isn’t selfish. It’s necessary. Curious if anyone else is learning this too. #progressnotperfection #chronicillness #nervoussystem #autoimmunedisease
