How do you force yourself to take care of yourself?

Ive been having really bad lower back pain. Now it’s only on one side and wraps around to the front. Ive had a kidney stone before and I’m thinking it’s another one. If I went to the dr it would have to be urgent care this weekend because I don’t have anyone to watch my daughter during the week and I don’t want to bring her and expose her to sick people. But I don’t want to go. I keep putting myself last and idk how to stop. But this pain is waking me up in the middle of the night.

You need to put it in your head that in order to be your best self for your kids, you need to be healthy. Which means, taking care of yourself. Health and mental health. I'm not a good mother when I'm stretched thin and have no moments for myself.

Thank you. That definitely what I need to do! I’m feeling better this morning. Thinking it’s sciatica. I definitely still need to go to the dr for it but I don’t think it’s a kidney stone 🙌🏼

What other symptoms did you have? I seem to have the constant urge to pee and back pain on my right side that wraps around aswell Tested negative for uti but blood in urine and no antibiotics is working so thinking I have a kidney stone but not sure
