A struggle to free yourself from the influence and expectations of others rests deep inside your psyche. You are on a slow but fixed path to becoming a truer version of yourself. This is extremely challenging and requires courage and confidence. The desired outcome is mental and spiritual freedom, independence, and maturity. This process can help you become more confident and self-reliant. 

You have devoted considerable time and effort to helping others, which is making you feel a little burned out. This could be especially true if you do not feel your sacrifices have been recognized or appreciated. 

Although gratitude may be there (just not expressed) this is a good time to step back a little and take time to look after your own needs.
