Somewhere between the medication schedule and the late-night phone calls, the person doing all the caring quietly stops counting themselves. This is permission to start again: how to spot the early signs of running on empty, small habits that protect sleep and mood without adding another task to the list, honest ways to ask for help, and why caring well for someone else starts with not disappearing in the process. Grounded, kind, and never preachy.
