General Stress Relief

[Mytime]

Hi all:) I would like to know as a supporter, how do you release your stress? Get better sleep and support your kids?

I make us a priority too. A lot of times it's easy to get wrapped up with your sufferer's needs and ignore everybody else's.

I need reminded of this too.

My sufferer has been ill for awhile, and as much as I love him, I'm burnt out being the designated asshole right now. The fireworks are definitely not helping.

I'm taking my kids away for a few days next week for a break. My vet will be a hot mess after the Fourth, and I'm sure he'll need a break from us too. I know I need an attitude adjustment so I don't get resentful or angry.

I've come to realize, I'm a fixer:(

Did you ever figure anything out?

 

[Mytime]

Yes:) I needed to put me first. I can't fix others, but I can fix me. I'm in control of my relationship with my kids only and can give them support, stability,safety and a lovably environment. There's strength in knowing, I'm strong within myself. :)
