Yeah, I think i do need to be better at looking after myself.  I've always just carried on regardless of how i feel.  I just think now that I need to be better at it as, yep, I do fall into that trap as well of feeling like i'm failing people.  It's always felt like i just have to go on until i can't anymore.  I need to not get to that point anymore, but I just start stressing over small things and i just need to learn to take it easy a little bit. I do try not to make people worry, but i guess that's the other side of not looking after myself.  Other people notice that i'm struggling before i do, so i'm not really stopping people from worrying by forcing myself to carry on like nothing is wrong.

 

Look at me, getting all wise and stuff! 🤣
