I’m tired of being responsible for others happiness

It’s SUCH a responsibility, overwhelming and hard, yet exceedingly rewarding. Keep em happy, keep everyone happy. Show them love and strength, void of personal wants, a machine of positivity. ITS EXHAUSTING. Make sure THEY have a good day, THEY feel loved, wanted, needed...safe. Shoulder their worries, fight their demons, be their buffer for the world. I have no energy left. I’ve lost the drive that gets me through the day. I’m tired of being the deciding factor. It’s daunting. Why can’t I be them and they take a turn!

A difficult to solve paradigm ... particularly when it is rewarding

Do provide us follow-up if you try something different

@questionWeaver it’s a cycle of insanity, same choices, same reward, same feelings. I think just venting will help take the edge off. No change in sight.

@CareBear420 venting is healthy!
