I don't want "Me Time". I want "Nobody Needs ME Time".

By Bass

Being needed isn't the same as being okay. For years, I lived in a cycle of burnout, overwhelm, and constant responsibility - the reliable one, the fixer, the person everyone called first. On the outside, I looked strong. On the inside, I was disappearing.

This book is the story of what happens when you finally admit the truth: I don't want me time. I want nobody-needs-me time.

Written with raw honesty and a neurodivergent lens, this memoir explores the reality of living with ADHD, anxiety, RSD, and ODD while raising a family, managing life, and trying not to fall apart in the process. It's not a guide. It's not a list of tips. It's not a perfect transformation.

It's a lived experience.

Across fifteen chapters, I share the moments that changed me - the first boundary I didn't apologize for, the day I didn't answer immediately, the relief of finally creating space where no one needed anything from me. This is the journey of learning to rest without guilt, say no without spiraling, and exist as a person instead of a resource.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, touched out, stretched thin, or invisible inside your own life, this book will make you feel seen. If you've ever needed a break but couldn't take one, you'll find yourself in these pages. If you've ever wanted permission to breathe - this is it.

This is not a story about fixing yourself. It's a story about finally including yourself.
