Right now, you probably feel like:

• You’re never good enough or have never done enough

• It’s impossible to check all the boxes

• “Keeping your shit together” is unsustainable

• You want to do things, improve things, be things, and learn things, but you lack the motivation or literal ability to do so

• People are your best friend, but you’re never anyone else’s best friend

• You have strained family relationships, specifically with your mom, feeling parentified as a child, or being no contact

• You keep getting into the same relationship but with a different person over and over to fix the initial pain

• You’re unable to cope with any negative input from others

• You have poor boundaries or codependent patterns

• You can gauge someone’s feelings just by being around them and are always aware of how other people are feeling, without it being reciprocated

• You’re just too much
