They stick with me like a nightmare, I told my councilor today and the advice is that basically I need to ride them out… Til I feel better. Good lord help me get though this.
Forgive me for being a hypocrite.(helping yet needing help) Basically I will take two sleeping pills and sleep this out.

hi there...well i read a lot of the other posts and a lot of people had great advise for you...but i c oudl really relate to you about you feeling gulity that you are too be the srong one in order to do your job in helping others...but as some else said there is going to be that time that you will need for yourself and that si only being human ...you need to be healthy before you can help anybody else to be healthy so although its normal and human to have that down time its also normal and human too need a time out for yourself...some peopel that believe in God will take that time and pray to him ...so find something that you find comfort in adn go to that place as often as you need to too keep yourself on a healthy path...you must be doing something right if you are able to help others because not everybody can do that
