WRAS,
Your initial post is a page right out of my life in 2005..............I beat myself up for not being able to be all things for everyone until I had a major depressive melt down.
Reading what your day was like astonished me..................you are truly trying to please everyone when it is you that comes first. It is no wonder that you have trouble sleeping at night as your adrenaline has been in high gear all day and it does not just shut itself down.
All too often we’re unforgiving and cruel to ourselves in a way we’d never treat our friends.
We’d never look a friend in the eyes and tell her she’s not good enough. We’d never beat a friend up over one mistake he/she made years ago. We’d never expect a friend to move mountains when she’s exhausted and clearly needs a rest.
Today, give yourself the consideration and kindness you’d extend to the people you love. If you’re dissatisfied with your progress, remind yourself of all you’ve accomplished. If you made a mistake, cut yourself from slack. If you’re tired, take it easy.
All the goodness you put out into the world starts with how you treat yourself.
I am here for you so keep on talking with us and know you are never alone as you are family here.
Blessings,
Kitt
