I feel like people like waring me down, I can't catch a break, or do things right. All I'm ever doing is trying to please people, and it's getting old. I feel like the giving tree somedays, I give and I give and its still not enough, until one day maybe I won't be in the giving mood. I somedays feel like crawling in a hole.

      You can't fill someone's cup if yours is empty. It's ok to say no. Treat yourself as you would a friend.

      I think that the "love your neighbor as yourself" is a key here. You can't give if you can't practice self-care effectively. Most of us struggle with self-care. I know I do. It seems to be a part of living with chronic conditions.

      I used to do the same thing. Constantly give everyone all my energy. Me personally; I started trying to stop. Because I was raised treat people the way you want to be treated, so thats what I go off of. If they're rude to me, I have no filter.. It's less draining for me. Obviously social situations are still draining of in their own still. But idk *shrug* just what I started doing.

        @CrystalWiccan ok, I was raised a similar way, but my religion, we also are told to love your neighbor as yourself, so basically treat everyone nice.
