Take a break from social media and try to relax for a bit, come back when you can! This is going to be a long haul…. Take care of yourself

Take care of yourself, Angeline! There are so many people that need you, but at the end of the day, you can't be there for them if you're not there for yourself.. refilling you're own cup is priority.

I preach this to my students all the time 😅 but I’ll try to actually to put my own needs first this time

therealdrdukes.bsky.social•10 days ago

I’m still going through the motions & doing all my responsibilities, but I am not well.

After work, I just lay in bed and don’t have the energy to do anything.

I want to voice this for everyone else who is also not doing well.

I see you. I’m there with you.

Big hugs, doc. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help

Thank you ❣️

I've been there, too much, doc. Please take care of yourself. You deserve it.

marshapiercephd.bsky.social•10 days ago

I think many of us are feeling that way.

😔 Please take care of yourself 🫂. I was in that boat last week and feel like I may end up there again soon. Trying to live by the Doctor's advice. (Doctor Who)

therealdrdukes.bsky.social•9 days ago

That’s a good reminder ❤️ I hope you take care of yourself too!

Thanks for this post. Putting up a front and going about things like everything is the same in our world is so exhausting. Self care is so critical right now. Take care and love to you.

I hear you, and I’m proud of you for voicing this. It takes strength to share when you're not okay. You're not alone in this. Sending you love and light.

Sending support from afar.

lorabishop.bsky.social•10 days ago

things will keep happening. we need people like you to not burn out. rest is resistance. take the time you need away. recharge. come back when you can. celebrate and love all that you already do. you cannot do it all. that’s why you have community!

brynagoeckner.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thank you for sharing this. We often keep that side hidden and shouldn't. Sending restful and recharging thoughts your way. You are not alone!

therealdrdukes.bsky.social•9 days ago

Thank you ❣️ hopefully others having a hard time will feel a little less lonely too

nicolecrust.bsky.social•9 days ago

You give so much (including this post). I hope you can realize that you are an inspiration to so many (including me!). And when you do that, even when *you* are "not doing" things are "getting done" (because you triggered them). That's a lot!

therealdrdukes.bsky.social•9 days ago

Thank you 😭 I really appreciate hearing that! ❤️
