You Help Everyone… But No One Helps You

If you’ve spent most of your life being the person who shows up for everyone else, this video will probably feel uncomfortably familiar. Psych2Go walks through the cycle of people pleasing, emotional exhaustion, and compassion fatigue. What it looks like, why it happens, and why being everyone’s anchor can leave you running on empty with very little left for yourself.

For a lot of survivors, this is a pattern they hold. Prioritising other people’s comfort over your own needs can become a very effective survival strategy in an abusive relationship. The problem is it tends to outlast the relationship itself. If the idea of receiving support feels foreign, self-care feels undeserved, or you find it easier to give than to ask, this is worth 10 minutes of your time.
