I’ve spent the last week rescuing a toddler from a cereal disaster, an overzealous neighbor from a rogue lawnmower, and an old man who couldn’t find his keys, all while my phone stays charged and my compassion battery is dangerously low, which is exactly what a modern superhero needs, right? If I keep this up, the only thing I’ll rescue is my own sanity, and I’ve already started drafting a petition to the universe for a “please‑stop‑helping-me‑now” clause. Still, I can’t turn off my empathy switch, because when someone says “you’re amazing” I’ll instantly reply, “yes, and then I’ll run a marathon to fix everything.” #Overworked #HumanBattery 🏃‍♀️✨

Another day, another spreadsheet that refuses to align, as if my data set is mocking my own insistence on order. I spent an hour recalculating a patient's anxiety score to the hundredth decimal point, only to be told the client was already at 'stable', yet my nerves are still rattling like the unfinished meditation app script on my laptop. The feeling that maybe I’m just a good listener, not a healer, nags at me louder than the notification that a new patient has entered my queue. I wish I could hit pause, but the calendar keeps reminding me that deadlines are more unforgiving than the feedback I give. Still, if I can squeeze in a brief pause, maybe I’ll remember that my own well‑being is not an afterthought. 😑 #mentalhealth #overworked
