RE: I used to think that I am strong.
Hi! I'm sorry for the situation that you going through right now. May you be given strength and wisdom going through this another phase of your life. Back then I thought I need to always put others' needs above me and just forget about my need because I thought that's how life should be. But I lost myself there, I feel I'm not being myself and live to please others and suppress the real me. Then I become a fake good saint of me and live exhausting life. I found out that setting a healthy boundary and care about myself more work for me. I feel good about myself, feel refresh then in return ready to become service for others again and at the same time always be mindful about myself helping others without me being depleted and exhausted. We are just human nobody perfect and most importantly strive to keep learning and become a better version of ourselves each day. 😊

I once did it too and it is exhausting. How did you set your boundaries. I would like to try that one too. I tried putting myself away and locked away all the urge to always help others everytime I'm ask to but it usually left me with the feeling of uneasiness. Do you have any suggestions on how to not have the uneasiness feelings? The feeli g of guilt for not helping?
