I feel sometimes that I am just weak.....that others face this same stuff but are able to cope. Thus they are stronger than I am. Come on Greg, cowboy up!! No, I can't anymore. But just when I feel like wimping out, like throwing in the towel, admitting defeat, I find out there's no one there to catch me....so if I give up, I just am giving up alone....scary. I don't want to go live in a psych ward for the rest of my life. But what the heck else can I do? Tired of keeping on keeping on.....what do you do?

I'm right there with you asking myself the same questions. One of the things I ask myself is, "who would take my place? Who would step up and do all that I do?" The answer is NO ONE. That's what keeps me going. There's bound to be more people than you know who would go down with you if you give up. ( That's what I keep telling myself anyway.)
Of course you're tired! We wake up every day to fight the same battles we fought yesterday! Give yourself time to heal, to rest and regroup. It's ok to take time for yourself. It's self-preservation. If you don't take time to care for yourself you'll never be able to take care of anything else. Take care cowboy!
