Your inner critic says things like "Why can't you just stop doing this to yourself? You know this is all your fault." It also slides in with comments like "Why even bother....you're never going to be good enough anyway." and "Look at yourself. Why would anyone want to be with someone like you?" Sometimes you want to scream, and other times you just want to cry. Often, you find yourself missing out on friendships and social events because they don't fit in with your latest eating plan, or you're too down on yourself to be around anyone else. You find yourself feeling angry, lonely, and, sometimes, scared. It's not who you want to be.

Smart, driven teen girls and women are often praised for keeping it all together - even if it means secretly falling apart behind the scenes. There's a lot of pressure to be the best at everything you do, which means there is no room for mistakes, and definitely no room for self-care. You wind up feeling panicked, overwhelmed, frustrated, or depressed. You often worry about what others think of you, and wish you could turn off that little voice that is always telling you what a failure you are. You wonder if anyone else ever feels like this. You know this isn't exactly normal...but you're not sure what to do about it.

Burned out and overwhelmed from taking care of everyone around you? It's a familiar story to many women, particularly if your job already involves keeping everyone else happy and well (here's looking at you, doctors, nurses, teachers, and moms!). You may find yourself feeling depressed, overthinking things, and never quite sure what "self care" means. That makes sense, with so much on your plate! In a perfect world, you'd be able to manage all of The Everything, maintain great relationships, and still find time for yourself. But, things are feeling far from perfect. And that's what brings you here.
