oh waves
you are so useful. you have helped me so much.i am so appreciate...you are so bright and so creative and so good and so kind....but i can understand why you dont feel useful either. last night i spent an hour and half on the phone listening to a close friend's problems. Her parents are aged and her mother is totally out of it....She doesn't want her mother in a nursing home. The attendants are awful. She also has an 1 1/2 commute to work which is freelancing now. She was fired from her last job. Last night I felt useful. Of course I could hardly sleep after that and this morning I have been weepy...and to think for seven years I couldn't cry. I am certainly making up for it...
how can we feel useful? do we have such high standards for ourselves that if we are not climbing mt everest we are total failures? How can we feel good about ourselves without harming ourselves in the process? Is it being bipolar?
You are such a good person and so very helpful.....how can i convince you to feel good about yourself....to feel worthy to be alive.
love
