@kattheunpackologist: When you’re known as the woman who always figures it out, people can struggle to understand you when you’re the one falling apart. This is about the hidden cost of always being capable, managing your pain, and making everyone else comfortable while you’re struggling. #WomenWhoHoldItTogether #EmotionalLabor #BurnoutInWomen #genxwomen #UnpackWithKat
Yes! They expect so much from me and I have to hide how much it hurts

I’m there. Have been for too long. Finally gave in and called the crisis line. Then next thing you know, DCFS was on my phone. So where’s the ACTUAL help?! I need it now… like yesterday

My family is the opposite. They see every little lapse in judgment as a huge problem. Then they will degrade me every time.

Wow, I’m sitting in the parking lot at work trying to convince myself to actually go inside. I’m so mentally exhausted. I’m the one who carries it all.

And when you finally show emotion and need help, they get angry. So you shove it down and remind yourself this is why you never show emotion.

I had this conversation in May with my mom, told her I needed help & was struggling, she threw it in my face & told me that no one was coming to help me, 💔

This is exactly why I filed for divorce after 32 years of marriage. I rescued everyone else yet no one rescued me… so I chose ME! Now happily taking care of me.

How true. My partner is having a hard time adjusting to me having better boundaries. It’s been rough at times. Also clarified (assessed) that I am autistic with ADHD and many of the comorbid health stuff that often goes with that. A lot to process and make sense of at age 57. I HAD to as total autistic burnout led to me not functioning at all in late 2023.
