so tired of putting on this "brave face" every day, it seems like i'm EVERYONE's shoulder to cry on and everyone's crutch to lean on.

i don't mind it always, the people who need me will need me and i am content with that- i need them too, but i really can't be the crutch for the lot of them. it's not like i don't have my own problems.

life is in complete chaos and i really can't do this whole be brave thing much longer. i don't need all this stress. the all lean on me when they need someone else but it's as if people don't even know me. my stress and my problems are irrelevant to so many.

life is too stressful and it is killing me to see the person i love most in so much pain. these past two weeks have been too much

well you can listen to someone elses troubes but still talk about your own. maybe your holding it in a little too much. sounds like you need someone to lean on. every one here is pretty great. keep talking, let it out, you dont always have to be the strong one nobody can. hang in there
Thanks for this!

That's a hard position to be in, it's a part I played in my family for years. It may be time to set some boundaries, Do you see a T? My T has really helped me to be very strong maintaining my boundaries, sometimes we just have to put ourselves first for our own health.

i wish your loved one could see a way through his pain so that the two of you can have a break from some of the stress you both are under,
let those now that you need a shoulder to cry on sometimes, maybe they dont realise that you want to talk about your problems as well,
come here and post we are allways willing to listen
