Thank you for sharing this article. I too, often find myself helping other people. I know what to tell them because it is what I long to hear. I want someone to tell me it's okay to be me. Good job for getting out of bed and taking shower. That is better than not getting out of bed at all. When my house is a mess and I get overwhelmed no one understands. If I were to visit a friend and saw she was struggling I would make her some tea and sit on the couch with her and let her know that the mess will be there when she is ready to tackle it. It is hard to be us but easy to help other people not be like us.
