[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 536513, member: 13542"] Yes, I think we can run out of gas as you said. I think I did that after my son in law committed suicide in 2000. I burned out. I had adrenal fatigue. I could not get off of the couch. All my internal reserves were depleted from all the stress. I had to put my health as a priority and learn how to put myself first, get support, do all the things I suggested to you in your other post. It was a huge life transition for me, but I had to put the focus on myself instead of on others. I am healthier today then I have ever been! You may be at a similar life choice point if you are burned out. Use my experience and put yourself first, do what others are saying as well, it is vitally important for you to heed this advice now so your health doesn't get impacted in a negative way. Take good care of yourself. You've done a good job of surviving your childhood and finding your own way. You've done the best job you know how to do with your children. Now do it for you, love yourself. It ends up being the most important choice you can make. My mothers heart hurts to read your story of your broken arm. But you managed to thrive. That is something to celebrate. You are here right now trying to do the right thing for your son. I commend you for that. Now do the right thing for you. Hugs to you sweet mom, from my heart to yours......... [/QUOTE]
