I Need Someone to Talk to

Anyone who’s over the age of 35 and has lived life to know what to say and how to advise me. Please :(

On airplanes, when the flight attendant gives the standard safety lecture, the passengers are told that in an emergency, if the passenger has a child or infant, it is very important to put the oxygen mask on oneself before putting it on the baby or child...because if you pass out, who is going to care for the baby?

You need to take care of yourself before you can take care of others.

What seems to be the problem?

Ok well lacking any specifics, I can tell you that life kind of flows like a river, sometimes the river is wide and slow moving and easy to ride, and then sometimes it's all rapids and rocks and white water and you just have to hold on for dear life.
One thing to remember, you are not responsible for everyone in your life. Protect and take care of those who are your responsibility, and let the rest fend for themselves....most of them will surprise you and make it.

@TexasGrandpa I’ve attempted to let those fend for themselves and it was horrific. I can’t even put into words how incompetent they can be. I’d rather have control so that I don’t feel guilty for neglecting them.

You can't save everyone else if you let yourself drown in the attempt. You need to find someone who can advise you, likely a professional with whom you would feel free going into specifics. Look out for number 1 and then perhaps you can help others.

Happy to try...

@mynameisray Life is a challenge just to survive. You and 6 billion others are fighting to live, love, and maybe even excel. Not all will make it...will you?
mynameisray · 26-30, M
@hertoy what if I’m done with it all and I don’t want to make it? I just want to be left alone.

@mynameisray Good luck...success or failure is as much mental as physical. You have to think positive for positive results...
