I also am horrible at taking my meds sometimes for nerve pain, thyroid, Vitamins. I have reminders that I glance at, think to go back to and forget. It has been getting better lately. I am amazed that I have to force myself to be mindful. To take care of myself. I blame it on my MS brain but sometimes I think it is just in my blood to put myself last. My husband is the same way and oh what a pair we make! (In a good way!)

Thank you for sharing, Tiffany! I'm glad I'm not alone. It's hard! I think society has really conditioned women especially to sacrifice ourselves for everyone else. A narrative I hope is changing, one day at a time!

Thank you for your honest, vulnerable admissions! I, too, try to present as if I have my shit together, but really, I’d rather people know the true me instead. Appreciate this reminder today. ❤️

Love you to the moon! Let's always not have our shit together, together.
