I won't go all psychologist-y on you -- I have put myself in 2nd or 3rd or even 4th place before. All I can say is be careful, please.

I'm sure you've already thought long and hard about how to keep yourself from getting into that position again, where you were putting everyone elses' needs completely before your own, but.. just be careful with yourself. And if you need time to yourself to work on whatever issues may come up, remember that the people you love have other people who love them, too, and if you need those other people to step in and take care of them for a little while, they probably would do it without a second thought.

Stay well, my friend.
