“
As I look back, I can see how that sense of responsibility and that sense of obligation can actually lead to a sense of self-eraser. But that’s a different story For a different day, gradually things started to change. There isn’t a specific incident that I can identify as a breaking point, and I’m not able to tell you what day it actually happened or identify the moment that it actually happened. But things changed. One day my body stopped cooperating. My nervous system was dysregulated. I couldn’t continue to show up. I could barely respond to emails or muster up the energy to even be present.”
