I Almost Lost Myself Trying to Please Everyone Else

For years, I was trapped by the expectations of others—parents, teachers, friends, and society. I became a chronic people pleaser, believing my worth depended on how much I did for others. The pressure to fit in and be accepted nearly destroyed me. I pushed myself so hard that I ended up with advanced adrenal fatigue, housebound for two years. Only when I started accepting myself as I am did I begin to heal. The anxiety and depression eased, and I realized I only needed to live up to my own standards.
