Because I work the same way as you do. I waited too long thinking people would see my struggles without me saying it loud. <br />Not so long ago I realized it was time to let go and reconnect with myself. <br />You are a very nice person and you don't have to please everyone before yourself. Taking care of yourself is the first duty you have. Don't judge yourself too harsh, look at you with love. You don't have to manage everything all the time. You can sit an cry, let the tears wash your pains. There is nothing bad in this,it is even good, as you allow yourself to be you.<br /><br />Take care dear, happy to read you talked about it and hope after a good night sleep you feel better.<br />much love.xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002825621409574290.post-64068126804813081942012-05-31T06:16:57.251-04:002012-05-31T06:16:57.251-04:00It means a lot Andrea... thank you. I slept well. ...It means a lot Andrea... thank you. I slept well. :) I have a history of not speaking out - assuming others can see what I'm feeling. Once I express myself plainly in words, I'm often told they had no idea how much I was struggling or that I was struggling at all. I guess my strong desire to please, to help, to not disappoint masks me too well. I hit a point recently where I really wanted to sit and cry but couldn't say why I felt that way so, instead of just doing the healthy thing and bawling my eyes out, I judged myself, invalidated the feeling I didn't understand, and plunged into "doing" more. Last night, after a ride to the city's rose garden and honestly telling Greg (and myself) how I've been feeling, I sat and read a blog or two. "Being" instead of "doing" which is what has been needed all along. Feeling the cyber connection with angels such as yourself was enough to tip the scale and open the flood gates. As I've said... I am grateful.
