[QUOTE="katya02, post: 565495, member: 2884"] DDD, you're such a source of strength to people here ... when you need some support, don't think of it as whining! You have so much going on. Things that don't have a simple, immediate answer. Even the strong get worn down. It sounds like you're still being torn by multiple expectations from other people, yet you have your own health problems and difficulties and need some care, too. Taking time for yourself is NOT wrong, even if you feel guilty about Ace. If you get too burned out you won't have anything to offer anyone else. If I could offer one piece of advice I'd say, care for yourself. Build yourself up, your physical, emotional, mental, spiritual needs. These must be met. Others will get along in one way or another; usually they'll do whatever they were going to do anyway. You need to lower your stress - write down some things you know would be helpful with that. Put them on a list and work through it, adding one every day, or more. Make a schedule where you block out non-negotiable time for yourself. Don't explain, don't justify, just do it. I've been one who sacrificed everything, gave up everything far too long, sure that my all was needed to keep my family going. I now think that's a little off the mark. I think we all need and deserve to care for ourselves. You, too, you especially. Sending {{{{hugs}}}} and support, and good thoughts. [/QUOTE]
