It seems my life is to try to save everybody. Why do I have so many posts here at PC? Because I want to save everyone. And in real life I work in the caring sector too. My life revolves around helping others. And yet it is a battle I will never ever win... Is it because I feel I couldn't save myself? Maybe. Just answered my own thread! LMAO!

It's a good thing to want to help others, but you don't have to save the world. And you do a wonderful job of helping others

Trying to save others in order to make them able to save you? That's what I think I was doing at one time. They certainly weren't doing it without my help.

I have thought I could save everyone too hon. everyone but me. maybe it is due to my lack of self esteem though. or maybe because I know how it feels to hurt.

Thats me all over. Course being an adult child of an alcoholic makes the reason obvious so I'm a bit of a cliche' too. And then if they don't appreciate it as I think they should I push them away and punish them..that would be the borderline. And then I crash and burn which would be the bi-polar. Ain't life grand???

I think you are doing good thing by trying tohelp others, maybe sometimes we need to take our own advice, i find that hard to do myself but somehow it makes sence when i'm posting here and get insights into my own problems and listening to others helps tremendously, i just love this site because i can relate to almost everyone here, with a few exceptions. Keep up the good work and try to get out of the viscious cycle of bad relationships.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
