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.

9 honest questions 3 minutes Mind · Body · Spirit Nothing is saved or shared

Before we begin — what brought you here today?

No right answer. Just set the tone for yourself.

Question 1 of 9

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.

Question 2 of 9

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.

Question 3 of 9

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.

Question 4 of 9

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.

Question 5 of 9

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.

Question 6 of 9

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.

Question 7 of 9

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.

Question 8 of 9

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.

Question 9 of 9

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

1 — Not doing well10 — Doing really well
5 / 10
About halfway — you're still standing.
Sometimes the number you pick before you think about it is the most honest one.
