I'm willing to change. I'm taking my time-out to work on myself. I'm going to try to be less selfish. I think when I am able to return to PsychoBabble that I will focus solely on helping others for a while....

You don't have to look at it that way, you know. I think it's probably healthier for you to be more realistic about the whole thing -- the key is "balance." That doesn't mean trying to turn yourself into Saint Greenleaves, offering of herself to others without asking anything in return, any more than it means only asking for other to support you.

Balance means that you ask for attention and support when you need it, and you offer support and attention to others. BOTH.

Good luck.
