The sentence, "You took care of ourselves." is an incorrect use of pronouns.

The pronoun 'ourselves' is a first person pronoun. It can't 'reflect' or 'intensify' the second person pronoun 'you'.

The sentence should read:

"We took care of ourselves."

Or:

"You took car of yourselves."

This pronouns 'ourselves' and 'yourselves' are functioning as reflexive pronouns, reflecting back to the antecedents 'we' and 'you' respectively.
