Are you okay?
A gentle check-in just for you.
You take care of everyone else. This 3-minute space is just for you. There are no wrong answers. Nothing is saved. You matter too.
Before we begin — what brought you here today?
No right answer. Just set the tone for yourself.
In the past week, how often has your sleep been disturbed — or have you felt exhausted even after sleeping?
From worry, nighttime care needs, or a mind that won't quiet down.
I've been feeling completely overwhelmed by everything on my plate.
The tasks, the decisions, the worry — and the feeling that it never actually ends.
I rarely have time for myself — or for the things that help me recharge.
The hobbies, the friendships, the quiet. The life that used to exist alongside caregiving.
I sometimes feel angry, resentful, or guilty about my role as a caregiver.
These feelings don't make you a bad person. They make you human. This is one of the most common — and least-talked-about — parts of caregiving.
I've been neglecting my own health — or noticing more aches, pain, or illness lately.
Skipping your own doctor appointments, medications, or meals. Your body keeping score when your mind is too busy to notice.
If you needed help right now — not in theory, but right now — is there someone you could call?
Not someone who would eventually help. Someone who would pick up.
I've been struggling to find joy or meaning in my daily life.
Not just tired — hollowed out. When the things that used to light you up feel far away or unreachable.
Is there still something — a belief, a prayer, a small ritual, a person — that restores you, even a little?
Faith, nature, music, a cup of coffee in the quiet. Anything that is still yours.
Finally — and answer from your gut, not your head.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your emotional well-being right now?
1 = not doing well at all · 10 = doing really well
