I Dont Ever Feel Happy Anymore

I really don’t feel happy or that my life is headed in the right direction. And lately, I don’t feel like a person. I’ve detached myself from my wants and needs as a coping mechanism, because at this moment I’m not able to take care of myself. It has been replaced with taking care of someone else who needs it more than I do. And I willingly took on the responsibility because there was no one else, and I wasn’t going to allow the person to fall. It’s how I am. I put others before myself because I’m an empath who feels the emotions and needs of others, and puts myself in their shoes. But I’m not sure how long I can keep it up before I’m drained to the point that I have no energy.

We all have our limits. Is there someone who can give you a break?

Nope. I’m the only person who can. @Noreaster

@PoisonLace I'm sorry

An empath to everyone but your own needs ...
PoisonLace · 41-45, F
Correct. It’s going to kill me one day. @ozgirl512

@PoisonLace change ...

I can wholeheartedly relate to this.
My only piece of advice is to at least listen to your body and allow yourself to rest or close your eyes for at least a few minutes.
You will rage through what you have to, because that’s what empaths do.
Just allow yourself that “break” when it comes.

I will try. @HotMessExpress102

I want to. @SStarfish

Have to take care of yourself first because the better off you are the better you are able to help others.
PoisonLace · 41-45, F
Agreed. It just doesn’t always happen. @Earthwrap

don't let others drag you down into the abyss we are headed into. Some of us have to somehow pull the rest out of this black hole.
