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!

Take a break and take care of yourself first.

@ABCDEF7 I’d like that very much but I’m obligated to put them first. I do try to find ways to not feel the pressure but it’s always short lived

@CareBear420 There is nothing bad in caring your loved ones, but you should be in good mental and physical form in order to do that, otherwise you will not be able to continue that for long.

You can take leave from work and also communicate with your loved ones. I am sure they will be able to understand. You need rest and rejuvenation.
