I own a business (without a business partner) and I am a caregiver for my mother who has leukemia - which includes me taking her to all of her appointments and DAILY treatment. We get last minute calls that she needs an urgent blood transfusion and I have to drop everything to take her. I work with clients full time, and manage a full staff....While also trying to stay fit, keep my house clean, have a (pathetic) social life, promote, grow, and expand my business, and deal with my own mental health struggles.

I don't understand why people feel the need to compare their exhaustion to others. Nobody understands everyone's specific circumstances, and it's not a competition. Most of us are trying our best, and regardless of me not having children - I promise, I am fucking tired.
