"If I Rest, I'm Failing"

Always-on mode

Guilt · Burnout · Pending

A weekend off makes you anxious. The bath is now a court case in your head.

What this archetype looks like

You feel guilty when you rest. The good part is that you are present and available. The hard part is that exhaustion makes you less patient, less warm and less yourself. What helps is treating rest as part of parenting, because your child also learns from watching you recover.
