Because that's what people like us do and then when it all gets too much beacuse we are trying too hard we blow a fuse and become anxious and depressed. Dr. Tim Cantopher's book , 'Depressive illness, The Curse of the strong' is a great, easy to read short book. It explains how we try to do everything and please everyone and then when it all gets too much we' blow a fuse' as he puts it. Highly recommend this book, it explains so much. \Hope you are feeling better soon. xx
