Welcome. You’re in the right place.
You don’t have to figure this out alone. Here’s where to begin.
If you grew up being the responsible one — the kid who held everything together, took care of everyone else, and never learned how to take care of yourself — this page is your starting point. I’ve been where you are, and I’ve gathered the resources and first steps I wish someone had handed me. Take what helps. Leave what doesn’t. Go at your own pace.
