Camel’s Back Syndrome

Dear Suze Q. I’m at my limit but everyone’s pushing me for more. My job’s ramping up demanding more in-office work days with hours of commute; both older siblings need support with medical appointments and getting around. I loved dating again but now it looks like that will have to wait. 

Dear Pushed, Camels are known for carrying heavy loads, but when they reach their limit -well, it only took a “straw to break the camel’s back.” Don’t be that camel. Assess your stressors now, then rearrange priorities, set boundaries/learn to say no, and delegate responsibilities. DO NOT feel guilty. Arrange for other transportation and help for your sibs. Dating is critical so you can avoid depression, burnout, and other nasty mental health issues. -SQ
