Get kid out of bed (meltdown). Brush teeth (resistance). Eat breakfast (texture issues). Get dressed (sensory meltdown). School by 8:30am = I'm already emotionally exhausted before the day starts.

Before breakfast, I've done 5 emotional crises.

How do you structure mornings without losing your mind? What's your non-negotiable vs. flexible?

Burnout is your system telling the truth about the load it's been carrying. Believe it, and be kind to yourself while it heals.
