Ozzie,

This is a good thread. I wasnt aware of my breaking point. Last year was a very tough year for me. On top of losing 2 family members I had some health problems as well. I kept going and going like the energizer bunny and wasnt paying attention to the warning signs....and believe me, there were many. Before I knew it, I had a complete and total breakdown. It nearly 1 year later and I am still reeling from it. I had spent my whole life glossing over me, never stopping to take the time for myself or my needs. I think that is key. Knowing your limitations and when to say enough is enough. We often find it difficult to do that. I think alot of us feel, or at least I did, that I was superwomen, I can handle it all. Quite the opposite.

I think now I am much more aware of the signs. When I think things get too much, I try to back off for a while until I feel strong enough.


Huggles,

Jen
