"And life mandates that I take care of so much and place myself last on the list."


This sentence speaks VOLUMES. Why do you have to put yourself last? I'm not kidding. Do you qualify for any kind of aid? You have kids, right? So if you are not working, perhaps if you applied, you might get food stamps, etc.. Just a suggestion!!

And putting yourself last. That doesn't help anybody. You have to take care of YOURSELF, before you can take care of kids, dogs, pets, house, WHATEVER.

Because when YOU go, who is left?

Think about it.

Only when I put MYSELF first, took care of ME, did I heal myself. And if I didn't take are of ME, who would take care of my husband?

I grow some of my own food (to make ends meet). It surely does help with the food bills.

Perhaps the pharmaceutical companies can help you with you meds? I've done that in the past (with my husband's meds). You'd be surprised at what they can do for you.

I do hope some of my suggestions don't come across as intrusive. We are here to help each other.

Take care,
