I got lost in doing things for others because although I love helping others I couldn't see how some people were zapping my energises. Needless to say most of the people I worked hard to help disappeared when I needed help.

Definitely says more about them than about me. I just feel sorry for them now.

Me too. I am now that "strange woman" that talks about self-care all the time.

I am that "strange woman" that says yes I suffer from anxiety and depression and you have to take care of yourself. I get so many people still saying to me that I shouldn't tell anyone I suffer. I just answer well.it is part of me and mental health and looking after your mental health needs talked about. 😁

Shouldn't tell anyone u suffer..that's insane.maybe it's people who don't care n don't want to hear it !!???

But I have found people who it has helped for me to say I suffer they had been ignoring their own signs of it. I do it because after great discussions with my family after my breakdown it turns out there had been signs but they'd just not mentioned to me that I was getting withdrawn and low.

If someone doesn't want to know me cause I have this problem that is their choice.

I only mention it if I am in a deep conversation with people about why I am starting up my own business.

Hidden I have a quote for you "good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, strong enough" Be all these to yourself and don't worry if you are good enough for another person. You have to be happy with who you are and the person you want to be.

Be the strong, happy person you know you can be.

If he is meant to be with you he will accept who you are as you are.

I thought I was leading a great life, had met my soulmate and was happily married. Even did things his way when I was starting to struggle with stress. Then after my breakdown he didn't want to know. Blamed me for his faults. I am divorced now, he moved straight in with another woman the day he left.

I felt he had put me on a high pedestal for years and told him that. Also told him that love was not a competition because everytime I said I loved him to told me that he loved me more and always had to get the last word on loving me more than I loved him. I now know that is wrong.

I had some great years with him, but through dealing with my anxiety I know now that I have to be proud and love myself and be who I want to be.
