That's the co-dependency me, not thinking of ME, trying to please & make everyone else happy before myself. The funny thing is, I never was aware of it, no wonder I was so sad most of the time, cuz I'd do & do &do & just felt totally empty inside, especially when it was "my turn" on reallly needing someone, it was like no one was really around. I allowed myself to get use, althought I was peolpe pleasein' cause I wanted to be liked/loved!!
But today...I stop & take a look at the picture before I go in head 1st, I've realized now that no one is going to take care of me & no one is gonna always be there to catch me when I fall, BUT ME!! I'm taking care of my needs now. <---lol I feel selfish! lol But I shouldn't be!! I'll conquer this co-dependency if it's the last thing i do! lol

BTW Have you hear of Ilyna VanZant? her book..."In the Meantime" is wonderful, it's like my bible or something I carry it with me whereever I go!! Check it out, you'll be so glad that you did!
BYe
