I get too concerned about those I love I want to help them and protect them Check resources and support them I think of them instead of sleep
I have learned this does not help others nor me I believe others are capable to do for themselves I need to take care of my self and sleep It is a habit that changes slowly & I keep trying
It is hard to watch others struggle I can just accept others for who they are This and prayers is how to care I will return my focus on my own self care
The attached I hope will share I understand more than you are aware You will find your way & your own resources now I will just love you as you are & take care of me
