Selflessness is a virtue to a degree. There is a severe lack of emphasis on how important boundaries are - the assumption is that people are naturally selfish (hi), so that selflessness is something to work towards. If you are naturally selfless and instill no boundaries, you will end up giving everything and devaluing your own self. You must give to yourself as well to flourish.
Assertiveness and honesty are good qualities to have. As is the act of decluttering - boy, you should see how much my room needs that, haha. It's seriously bad.
Relationships should be give-and-take - not a one-way street at all. It should be a dynamic compromise, preferably one that is mutually beneficial.
Change is so hard. But probably a lot easier if you can surrender and give yourself to it. I am not one that can easily surrender, unfortunately.
It is good you are back. I think it is important to leave some proof of whatever one is going through, and journalling is something you can look back on and not forget those times you were able to survive. It´s something I believe I need to do however busy I am.
When air pressure goes down in an airplane, parents must give themselves some oxygen first before helping their children. If you don't put yourself first, you cannot be the best help to others either aye?
Your job sounds very draining, and more for the sake of those family that can't let go rather than the patients themselves. Your compassion is a blessing. 💕
