Precious girl! Only YOU know what is best for you. If you don't have any support to give others, there is no shame or guilt in that fact. There comes a time in everyone's life when we have to draw back and take care of ourselves. It DOES NOT mean that we are being shelfish or self-centered. We're simply "putting the oxygen mask on ourselves first."

However, there are also times when we could possibly be withdrawing too much. Please be sure you aren't hurting yourself by not reaching out to those who love you. There's also NOTHING wrong with asking for precicely what you need. If all you need are hugs, ask for hugs only. If you feel close to someone and think they understand you well enough, ask them for what you need from them.

You have been supportive to many here when you've been able. You've been a joy to communicate with and be in chat with. You've given of yourself to the rest of us. It's YOUR turn to receive... if you so chose, ok?

Know that you are <font color="red">loved</font> very, very much!
