marcid21 Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 Anyone ever feel defeated? Like as if you're always trying way to hard to be so strong for everyone else...and then when all your shit catches up to you, you feel tattered and torn, and don't know where to turn? Like, what happens when you need to feel weak and just fall into someone else for sanity....where do you turn? How do you let people know your really not as strong as you seem?

snoozi8 Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 wow I feel that sometimes helping others makes me feel stronger but especially when they're better, you wish you were too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgym Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 I usually end up turning to myself when i feel weak and after having done so much for someone else.I very often go out of my way to make people feel at home. But that does take a toll on me. It's ok to admit you're weak, just do it to the right people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatman Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 Lately, I usually disconnect for a couple of days...isolating myself for a bit...maybe treat myself to something i feel i need...funny how a blessing sometimes seems to be a curse...it all comes down to perspective...

tastyt Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 You just about summed up my life... As for how to admit to your weakness- I have no idea. That's something I have a really hard time doing. As an only child, I've always had to rely on myself for a lot of things and it takes a lot for me to admit that I might actually *need* someone else for anything...
