seriously, i have a tough time distinquishing between "neediness" and "getting help/self care"......i turn on the "energizer Bunny" and keep on going and going and going in the opposite direction from taking care of myself.

yes and most of us hate to think we are needy - needs ? me ? never you must mean that other person over there ...hmm they have needs - hey let me through - im gonna help - just watch out in case i drop the other 10 balls im juggling lol

sometimes i know what i need.
sometimes i THINK i know
other times i have no clue and freeze in place and wait for "all the kings men" who never do show up after all.

and sometimes others try to help us and let us know what we need and then we get cranky and argue...hmm i mean discuss lol and the annoying thing is they are often right - i finr the more i fight against somene telling me i need something - like rest when i have the flu lol he more they are right! if i see immediatre resistance - (after the steam has stopped coming out of my ears lol) i try to go back and see if there was somthing in what they said that could possibly ...maybe...perhaps...have been a tiny..small but ....hmmmm whats the word ......oh yes! right grrr.

Waiting for all the kings men.......yes - sometimes you just hold on hard to the side of the cliff and hope it doesnt rain

sorry, hanging onto the side of ledge right now and can't see above me or below me and someone is saying "let go, i got ya!!!!" HA HA heard that voice before and i've fallen........
