i never could count on ppls to be there for me cause they always expect me to be there for them. "i'm SO capable"...right! that's why i'm on disability and see a t once a week, and so on and so on...these ppl in my life don't get it...

i totally hear you. for years i was the only glue holding so many others together, and when i came apart there was no one there for me.

go ahead, lower your expectations a little on things that really don't matter -- like if it feels good to put your lounging pants on and be reclusive, just do it! you mentioned a new baby --? when i had my babies some very good advice did i get which was, let the housework go. enjoy the baby, get your rest, and pamper yourself. pick up what you can whenever, but as far as obsessing over constant cleaning, or even trying to be diligent? --just let it go. you don't gotta be martha stewart (and look what happened to her, LOL)

and remember, things will NOT be like this forever. it WILL end. time and change always have their way ...

be good to you.
