Do you not care about others as long as you're doing okay?

No, but I have firm boundaries because of past experiences. Being around as many people as I am and working in the field I do, making sure I'm ok is part of the process. I think it's a big part for everyone. If you can give without it taking huge chunks from you, do so. That's what we're here for. If you continue to give and lose yourself? It's not worth it.

@HijabaDabbaDoo I seriously need to internalize this.

@HijabaDabbaDoo oddly enough I just had the same conversation and I had no idea I've been giving what I don't have and that's why everything is shit.

Thank you. Your words reinforce something very important I've been neglecting

@HijabaDabbaDoo You sound like you are in healthcare or hospice. Boundaries/limits are very important for mental health.
