Not sure if this is off topic but wanted to post it here because I believe a lot of us, if not all of us, are under enormous amounts of stress.

People are always talking about self care and how hard it can be for codependents to put themselves first, how it's a habit for us to put others first.

Please watch this if you feel you have a hard time with self care. It really drives the point home that being so selfless hurts us

Expanding, I first heard about Dr. Mate on public radio, I think. I found his website here:

When the Body Says No - Dr. Gabor Maté

and checked out his book "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts" from the library. I think it may be time for me to check out "When the Body Says No" next, and in the meantime listen to the numerous talks I see he has online.

Thanks for reminding me about him and his work.

I've watched that video before - it's excellent.

He has another great video here "Dr. Gabor Maté ~ Who We Are When We Are Not Addicted: The Possible Human" ...
