Denial: “I’m Fine.”


Burnout begins quietly.

You tell yourself it’s just a rough week. That you’re tired, not broken. That pushing through is the noble thing to do.

But denial is heavy.

It silences your needs. It calls exhaustion strength. It turns pain into performance.

Here’s your permission to say it out loud:

I’m not fine. And that doesn’t make me weak. It makes me human.

Why Basket-Cases?

(a.k.a. “Why a Breakdown Basket?”)

Because being human is hard. And hilarious. And chaotic.

We made these baskets because:

  • Your brain deserves a timeout (even if your schedule doesn’t).
  • Art, stories, and silly rituals can be more healing than a checklist.
  • You’re not broken—you’re just beautifully overwhelmed.
