She added she hasn\u2019t seen friends or gone on a date in months because she \u201conly [has] the capacity for work and family right now.\u201d That drive to be everything to everyone can be familiar to millennial moms, but it also raises a real question: what gets sacrificed when you\u2019re always the one holding it down?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tActress Selma Blair has described a similar pattern: she said early multiple sclerosis symptoms were <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/health-and-wellness\/articles\/1234933248\/selma-blair-son-impacted-ms-diagnosis\/\">brushed off as \u201cnormal\u201d postpartum changes<\/a> after she had her son, which delayed her diagnosis while she tried to keep up with caring for a baby.

It\u2019s a useful backdrop for why so many moms keep moving even when something feels off and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/parenting\/articles\/2558395\/moms-feel-invisible\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">moms feel invisible<\/a>: too often, daily life is still built around moms being the default.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe fallout can be serious. Chronic stress and ignored aches can snowball into bigger health problems, and mothers carrying more \u201cmental load\u201d report higher stress, more burnout, and worse physical health. Turner has even said that after going through a lot in her 20s, she\u2019s proven to herself, \u201cI can survive a lot\u201d \u2014 a mindset many moms recognize.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBut \u201csurviving a lot\u201d isn\u2019t the same thing as being okay. Turner\u2019s <em>Tomb Raider<\/em> prep is a reminder that listening to your body matters, especially when the pressure to push through is constant. Ignoring persistent pain or exhaustion can turn manageable issues into chronic ones \u2014 and taking care of yourself isn\u2019t extra. It\u2019s part of taking care of everyone who relies on you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong><em>More on moms and their invisible workload (and how to manage it): <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Before you go, click <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/entertainment\/slideshow\/2495\/celebrities-with-depression-anxiety-mental-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> to see all the celebrities who have opened up about their depression and anxiety.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><br \/><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/entertainment\/slideshow\/2495\/celebrities-with-depression-anxiety-mental-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2284573 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/celebrities-depression-anxiety.jpg\" alt=\"Prince Harry\" width=\"693\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/celebrities-depression-anxiety.jpg 693w, https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/celebrities-depression-anxiety.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/celebrities-depression-anxiety.jpg?resize=178,100 178w, https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/celebrities-depression-anxiety.jpg?resize=125,70 125w, https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/celebrities-depression-anxiety.jpg?resize=600,338 600w, https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/celebrities-depression-anxiety.jpg?resize=682,384 682w, https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/celebrities-depression-anxiety.jpg?resize=445,250 445w, https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/celebrities-depression-anxiety.jpg?resize=150,84 150w, https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/celebrities-depression-anxiety.jpg?resize=110,62 110w, https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/celebrities-depression-anxiety.jpg?resize=285,160 285w, https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/celebrities-depression-anxiety.jpg?resize=320,180 320w, https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/celebrities-depression-anxiety.jpg?resize=640,360 640w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.sheknows.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sophie Turner\u2019s intense preparation for her new role is highlighting a truth many moms know well: we push through pain and health issues to get the job done.
