that my life is collapsing around me... i give, give, give, but i never do everything else (cleaning the house, doing hwk)
rainbowturtle87@hotmail.com says:
i just don't think i am meant to work, i think God wants me to use my life to give... it's what i am good at, not at sitting in a spot woring on something, not at doing the cleaning... i'm meant to talk to people and give them their essentials and help them get through the hard times

i am meant to help others get what they need in life, even if it means i end up dirt poor living ewith a friend

When people write something like your first post and then say "ignore" it, that tells me only one thing, they don't want it to be ignored, and it probbably isn't going to be ignored.
If you really felt it should be ignored, you would have deleted it.
Please know you are not going to be "ignored", but I am sure you knew that in your heart already.
You take care now, alright?

Valbends, some of us are meant to help others, to give them what they need, etc., but not to the point that we rob ourselves of what we need.

In a well balanced life, we have the time to take care of ourselves and our needs, like washing our dishes and clothes and also give to others. No one in their right mind expects you to not have needs. If they do, then they are not in their right mind. There's lots of people like that out there.

I hope you start feeling better real soon. I've felt like you do in the past but it sure didn't work for me.

Okay, I think I understand. Are you saying you would rather help other people than do the basic work, like cleaning, that it takes to take care of your own physical comfort?

I'd much rather do that too - housework is a drag, isn't it? But you need to find a balance. There are lots of ways to give and cleaning is one of them. If it doesn't get done, it makes it harder to do the kind of giving you would like to do. Same goes for homework - if you neglect it, it limits what you have to give. You need to meet your needs first, or you will run out and won't have anything to give.
