[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 676626, member: 19522"] Hi again Everyone's Mom This is so very, very true. I can see by your name, that you have probably been used to taking care of, and nurturing others for a long time. It feels weird to focus on ourselves, when this is the case. Taking care of ourselves, our needs, is not selfish, [I]it is of utmost importance.[/I] Baby steps, take a walk, sit quietly, with your thoughts. Start a journal, revive an old hobby. Make a list of things you would like to do. Join alanon, or any group. Seek therapy, if the feelings become overbearing. I did, it helped me sort through all of the sadness. Dear, we cannot function from empty, so please, [I]be your own MOM, too[/I]. Take a little time out of each day to be good to yourself. You matter. You have value. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
