Thanks Don W. Well ive been under tremendous amount of stress, in my everyday life. Sometimes feels like im being torn into peaces, by different people, my kids, my elderly parents, bf, ex-husband(kids dad), my job (wich when im working, is very demanding and time consuming). Im not the perfect parent, I feel bad because i know i dont always spend enough time with them. And when i try to do things for me, like go for a walk, or to an OA meeting(wich i just recently started going too.) I feel guilty. Its just hard to please everyone, impossible. I just try to do best i can and thats it. And try to remain calm, and not let other people get to me. Like Mariah Careys song, "Shake it off". But its not easy, very challenging.
And basicly not take other peoples "stuff" on, and learn how to shrug it off, and not take it personal.
Well anyways, thanks for taking the time, to read and respond. and yes somethings are kind of hard to talk about, but if you dont be honest about your problems, how can anyone help. Life just sometimes isnt very fair, or easy.
But I keep on keeping on, never give up.
