I am a silly old 'elephant carrier' aren't I?!?
I have been pushing things just a little too much for quite a time now, getting on with life and trying to be all things to all people. Not enough to actually crash, on any one day, but slowly grinding myself into a mushy, achey, braindead and foggy....... mess!
Messy is how I'm feeling just now.
Short post - normal service will be resumed - soon I hope!

I could have written that Zarla. I have been doing the same thing for years. I have finally realised that, much as I would love to, I can't save the world or make things better for everyone however much I wreck myself. It has taken a long time and a lot of heart searching but I have realised that unless I prioritise I am never going to feel well enough to actually enjoy anything or anybody. It has meant making some very difficult decisions and some very unpopular ones but I have realised that if I don't do something I will soon be in no fit state to help anyone, including myself. As I have never said no to anyone in my life if I could help it I have found it extremely difficult but I know that if I am ever to stand any chance of getting any better I need to consider my needs as well as those of everyone else. It is quite a strange feeling after more than 50 years of living my life for other people. Having said all that, I still have time for my friends!! xxx
ReplyDeleteSame as Cherryl but I stopped trying to rescue and make it all better a good while ago now. I wonder if you are also suffering from PSHRS (Post School Holiday Recuperation Syndrome) ? Very common at start of September :O) Take care and rest
ReplyDeleteOh yes-PSHRS is a problem, but I'm also struggling with the symptoms of USFW(Unnecessary Stress From Work)and PREB (Pig Related Errand Burnout)!
ReplyDeleteHope your PSHRS is on the mend Cusp!
Take care,

Julie,
ReplyDeleteI hope that the show was good, sounds like a great diversion. We all need diversion and good reasons to push the body a little.
I could never survive if all I could do was sit and monitor the soaps and reality TV, I'm a bit of a stubborn old thing and regularly do a bit too much, my 'elephants get heavy' and it's mostly my own fault!!
I read from your blog that you like to get out and about too-nothing like a bit of fresh air!
Just rest and recouperate after your West End weekend. Feel better soon,
Z
