Been feeling so stressed and anxious lately. But I’m seeing my support worker this morning. Earlier this morning also, Mum admitted that she does take me for granted. Through all of this, I’ve been feeling like I don’t care about anyone but myself, but that’s not true. The problem is being on the other extreme, and a person has to be careful not to burn themselves. I just wish it didn’t feel like my life is falling apart, when in fact it’s coming together. I just have to put faith in the process.
Make sure you tell this to your support worker.
I’m glad you’re seeing your support worker soon. They will be able to reassure you.
Thanks for the support. I also made an appointment to see my nurse practitioner for a week from today. Just want to see if part of what I’m going through is physical, maybe a hormonal imbalance, because I just get so restless and agitated lately.
Caring about yourself is required before you can truly care about others. If you are working for others under threat, in the long run, you are not helping either of you. I learned early on that my parents needed help and I was angry and, later, delusional about helping them. I did not have the skills to help them. It may seem like you’re falling apart now because your weaknesses are letting themselves be known. That is a sign of strength.
