This is exactly how I used to be until recently. The difference now for me is that I am also responsible for my mother and her money. The pressure is not easy, diarrhea and stomach cramps and such. But I force myself to deal with it. I need to have enough money for groceries and other important things for instance. I have no other choice. But if I was the only one involved, I would avoid dealing with this problem and allow myself to be stepped on. I still would have the stomach cramps and diarrhea and episodes of panic.
