No JD you don’t sound crazy at all. I often feel that way about people (in fact right now I’m sitting here thinking, why am I bothering, why am I turning myself inside out to connect with people who don’t give a shit whether I’m around or not and who quite happily ignore my existence altogether.)

So I think I get what you’re talking about. If you do manage to find a way of living happily without needing anything from other people, can I be first on your list of people to share it with.

I’m glad you are feeling some comfort in that decision though, even if the decision might well be shortlived.

Big hugs ((((( Jane ))))) You hang in there.

No, not crazy.

If it helps you survive, maybe it is what you need right now.
I always think that balance is something
to strive for.

(((((JANE))))) No you don't sound crazy. It's hard to take care of ourselves sometimes when it means we lose a sense of connection. Like you are taking care of yourself by not going to see your family but then there you are, wondering if you are crazy.

((((LAMPERS)))) I hope you continue to come and connect because I know I would notice if you stopped posting. I bet a lot of others would too. As a general rule, turning yourself inside out just isn't a good idea. Seriously, if that's how you are feeling, though, you should take a look at it. That's important information.

Thanks for the responses and input, I keep typing out a response, but will respond later. Just wanted to say thanks.
