I thought the same thing....had to read it a couple of times to get it right. :eek:

I feel like I have been in outter space. dealing with aliens, and weirdos for a while. One of my students who wanted to know about shamanism kept talking about her alien friend who came from another planet to help her better understand her lessons. :eek:

Sounds to me like youwere almost addicted to selflessly helping everyone else. You know, you can't be of help to anyone if you don't take care of YOU first.

And part of you is your relationship.

I know it sounds trite, but it's true.

Don't get me wrong, I'm crazy impressed with how much you took on and how well you did it all. But I'm glad your husband spoke up for himself and for you, and that you saw the signs too, that it was getting to be too much before it was too late.

There is much to be said for that.

(Queen of analogies here...) You wouldn't run your car day in and day out without filling the tank and checking the oil, and you ought not do that to yourself either. You can do for others, but be sure that first, you have new wiper blades and air in your tires.

that is a lifechanging decision dejibo. and good for you.

i hope that in the coming wks and months you have as much joy and peace as you need.

Was she taking Lyrica? Just kidding...don't know if you caught my post about the hallucinations I was having during the short time I took Lyrica...

:eek:

good for you taking time off for YOU!!! hugsssss and hope you post in here and keep in touch....hugss,sarah

I mentioned it on the other space, but you go girl, take the time for yourself and just relax. You need it! :hug:

She did WHAT?!? OMG! That is seriously creepy! Sounds like she could be stalker material. Let's hope that she took the hint and wont be coming back to see if your husband "needs anything".

Me too! LOL

Dejibo - Congratulations! I know it must still be a little bittersweet but I think you did the right thing. Beside, now you have more time to hang out with US!:p

Moderating CAN be a pretty thankless job, and very stressful. It's not the same here . . . because they don't fuss over everything that gets posted and common sense prevails . . . but I can't imagine having to "make judgement" about virtually every word that is said. :cool::mad:

Once you have time to unwind, you might want to get more 'involved' somewhere else (or not). The trick is to find something that suits your values and time constraints.

All the best with your new-found freedom. :hug:
