Feel like running

So overwhelmed I feel like I need to escape somewhere anywhere. I'm tired of trying to be nice to people and all I get is hurt anyways. I have too many things going on with little sleep I feel like I'm going crazy. I wish I could just run far away not look back but I know it wouldn't solve anything.

Niiicee. I'm originally from NY, but from way up in cow country. Focus on the fun that you're going to have and put all the rest of your worries on the back burner for now!!

Lol the cow country?!! Now you just made me think of you as a cowboy🤠

I'm more by the city. My son like taking the train pretending to be a tourist.

Haha, definitely not a cowboy, but people at my high school did drive tractors to/from their houses to get there some of the time. Assuming the weather is great, you guys will have a blast I'm sure!

Hi why do you have to be nice to everyone? Are you a people pleaser? That's a mugs game you know and doesn't get you anywhere except frustrated, upset, and tired.

The only person you need to please is yourself and the only person you need to spend time on is you. Bet that comes as a bit of a revelation doesn't it? Have a think about it. You are the only one looking after your own needs so don't expend all your energy on others.

Put your own needs first and forget about others.

Actually it's not really about being a people pleaser because that means I'd want acknowledgement for things I do.

I'm just what you call to selfless which is similar but I just care too much for my own good. I'm nice to everyone but I'm shy half the time so I don't always talk people unless I have to. My issues go far far being this. But I just having a bad few days and my emotions just a mess and people add to it. I try not to focus on them or care but that not really me.

I do focus on me but like everyone we all have our off days. 😊

Hi jewlz it doesn't necessarily mean you want acknowledgement to be a people pleaser. Don't forget you can ask for help too and can let trusted people know how you are feeling.

You say you are selfless and I am not arguing with you but will say that I don't believe in pure altruism. We all get something when we care about others and try and help whether it's open acknowledgement or not. It makes us feel like a good person for example. But don't forget helping others is time and emotion consuming so sometimes we have to be more selfish.

You have been though a bad time lately love so just chill and relax as much as possible until you feel a bit stronger. Take care. xx

Lacking sleep makes everything look out of whack. Running or some other kind of exercise in the monring and an evening routine that's relaxing might really help. I can't have any caffeine after noon or I'm away for hours. Maybe some relaxation exercises with deep breathing and tensing and relaxing your muscles might help ou feel sleepy in the evening.
