This is so true, both physically and mentally. Most people realize this about their physical health, but it's just as true mentally.
I lived my earlier years either blind to the fact that I needed to make time for myself mentally, or I pushed things back thinking they would go away on their own. I just needed time to heal from a trauma. It wasn't a broken bone. It would go away I thought. I could push through the nightmares and the flashbacks and the anxiety.
Wrong...
I have a long list of mental disorders and illnesses. Some are because I didn't get help earlier. I shoved memories back and I kept going and my body and mind finally pushed back a few years ago. They had enough. Now I have to make time for my illnesses.
Don't be like me. Make time for your wellness. It's worth it.... You are worth it.
