You're the one who fixes things, the physician who carries everyone's crises, the attorney who never gets to be the one struggling, the engineer or executive who solves what no one else can. From the outside you look all put togetherInside, you're exhausted, stretched thin, and quietly aware that something isn't working, maybe burnout you keep outworking, maybe anxiety you manage with more control, maybe a private behavior you'd never let anyone see.
