I'm not sure if I am interpreting you right, unaluna, but it sounds like you're advising balance between caring for self and caring for others. If I'm off, correct me.

What I've been doing had me to the point of feeling like I was losing my mind. I can't go back to that pattern.

So I have to make life worth living for myself. My heel still hurts when I walk. It's not bad enough to prevent me doing some housework. The apartment got so messy. I just wasn't keeping up with everything. He tells me I just waste too much time. That's not the whole truth.

I must have some breakfast. Then I must work on this apartment.
