Title: Care but little to give
Post by: Not Alone on September 07, 2019, 01:23:31 AM
Just want you all to know that I care even though I am not responding to many posts right now. Life is high pressure and exhausting right now. Wish I had more to give.

Your well-being has priority here! You give plenty to others, so now you can give to yourself for as long as you need.  :yes:  :hug:

Thank you, everyone, for your support. I'm still feeling pressed down. I don't have to work today and other then a few errands, am mostly doing nothing. Trying not to feel guilty about that. I think I am still recovering from last week's high-stress week. This is what I'm guessing my T would say to me: "Just 'life' was really stressful to you last week. Add to that the stuff you're dealing with, no wonder you feel undone. Be kind to yourself. Allow yourself to do nothing. That is okay." (It's a lot cheaper hearing his voice in my head then listening to him in his office!  :rofl:)

Good for you, for being kind to yourself, :applause:, and for conjuring the voice of your therapist  ;D
