just wanted to let you all know i am feeling a lot better today. I reached out to al anon memebers and the support i recieved fro this site and memebers of my group pulled me through a difficult time again. As per usual there was a lesson within the pain from my Hp in fact more than one.
Firstly the demands and expectations I put on myself are crazy I am over responsible and do not take very good care of me I have lots of shoulds. Well these demands have brought me to my knees so this time thanks to al anon I have reached out and got some support. Ireally need to slow down and to start looking at how unmanageable my life has become I have took time off work. I have been out for lunch with an al anon friend today. I have been using my phone. I am goig to a meeting tomorrow. I am having a lyin tomorrow I needed to give me some TLC.
thank you all for your support I have to learn to be resposible for my welfare xxx
One thing about us codependents===sometimes we expect ourselves to be super-human and are reluctant to reach out for help==I'm glad you were able to do so.
I love what everyone else had to say. Keep taking care of yourself, it is sometimes incredible the pressure we put on ourselves from day to day. Give yourself a break and Let Go and Let God! I am all about seeing when I loaded my plate to full of busyness lately and saying to my HP well this is too much here is some of what I don't want to handle right now. I decided sometime recently I traded in my cape for a lounge chair and I okay with that fully, lol.
