[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 728257, member: 19522"] SW I am sorry you are having a hard day. I have my fair share too. I feel it is my heart and mind signaling that I need some "me" time. We are on difficult journeys, all of us here. It is no wonder that we will have blue days, and times when you just cannot hear one more time how "little Suzy or Johnny have grown up to be fine, independent well rounded young adults." Oh, gag me with a spoon, how blessed you are........... yup, that is me sometimes, nice kind Leafy, just fed up with the bs from my two and wishing they would freakin see the light......... Then there are conversations at work on college and career success, or how someones kid just bought a beautiful home. I am like :whoopdedoo: sometimes........well, that's inside my head while my face smiles and I am truly happy for them but............ there is the awkward pause, because there is not much for me to add to the conversation. Oh....heres a real way to make a room go silent "Well, Rain just moved to a better park and has a boyfriend with a truck, so at least she has a "roof" over her head" (Play "Were Movin' On Up.....in the background.) Ahem. Yup, I know how you feel. And.....it is okay. Completely understandable. I do not think it is selfish at all. Sometimes we really just need to get away from it all. Find time for yourself and don't feel guilty about it SW. It is important to keep up your strength and let your feelings out, release the pent up anxiety and just have some "down" time. I do it. It is necessary for me to acknowledge my own feelings and take time to destress. Or cry and lament. Red faced, runny nose and all. I think it is unhealthy to keep it in and go round pretending I am okay. I will hole myself up in my house and turn off my phone. I just don't want to be around people when I feel yucky inside. I think it is alright to wait to talk with your folks when you feel up to it. That is a part of self care we people pleasers often overlook. How WE feel. Honor your feelings and take time for yourself. You matter! (((HUGS))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
