You find yourself making up excuses to avoid plans, knowing you just can't handle one more coffee date where you'll have to perform "being okay."
The thought of checking your phone makes your chest tight - all those unread messages from people who need something from you.
Even your usual self-care activities feel rushed because there's always someone waiting for your attention. You love your people, but lately everything feels like too much, and the guilt of needing space is almost as exhausting as not having it.

This kind of self-doubt is natural when you're learning to honor your needs. Creating sacred boundaries isn't about building walls - it's about learning to tend to your energy while staying connected to what matters.
