Gosh. Thank you for boosting my self-esteem so. I'm tickled.
I no longer feel motivated to post regularly on the treatment boards. I know why, but it is sad just the same. One thing that I do not feel is dutifulness. It is not my duty to be all things to all people, especially if it impacts negatively on my life to try. Perhaps you can strike a balance between your responsibilities at PB and your responsibilities to yourself. You really can have both. However, your priority is your health. The health of PB cannot be afforded by you if you have not sufficient health for yourself.
There I go preaching again...
Sorry.
