See what you carry for others.

The Carry maps your invisible workload — emotional labor, institutional maintenance, dependent care, everything you hold that no one counts. Not self-care advice. A structural analysis of your specific burden.

How carry-structures fail

Fatigue Failure

The slow erosion. You carry something so long the weight changes your structure. Example: The parent managing all family logistics for years, then can't remember why they're tired.

Sudden Collapse

One more thing and the whole structure gives way. You've been load-bearing so long that a single addition exceeds capacity instantly. Example: The team lead absorbing departed colleague's work, then breaking at a minor setback.

Cascading Failure

When one carry drops, others redistribute to you. You absorb the load, then become the next break point. Example: The community organizer who picks up what institutions dropped, then carries an unsustainable cascade.

Who's carrying you

Every carry-structure has supports beneath it. The friend who checks in. The colleague who covers your blind spots. The partner who carries your emotional weight. The institution that still holds something for you.

Emotional Support

People who hold space for you.

Practical Support

People who handle things you don't see.

Structural Support

Institutions, systems, privileges bearing weight for you.

Most people underestimate their support by 60%. The inversion reveals who's holding you up.

The weight no one counts

0 items Weekly invisible workload for primary caregivers
0 items Uncounted carries per person on average
0% People near break point who don't know it
0% Carry-loads including misattributed responsibility
0% How much people underestimate their own support
0 items Average time carrying before projected break point

These numbers come from carry-structure analyses run on this tool. They update as more people map their carries.

Your break point is knowable

You don't need more self-care advice. You need to see the structure of what you carry — where it's load-bearing, where it's misattributed, and where it will break. The Carry gives you the map. What you do with it is yours.
