If you look at my posting history in the last few weeks, you will notice a little pattern.
I gave help, I asked for help, I gave help, I asked for help. I got caught up in things that were going on in my life for five days- I gave myself permission for five days to mostly ignore the board because I didn't want to pressure myself any more than I already was.
I'm hoping that you'll see that I do what I can to help other people, I reach out for help when I need it, and I work on not feeling guilty for not always being around when needed; I do all of these things for me.
Even offering insights and my experiences up to try to help others helps me. I am much happier as a well-rounded individual than I ever was EITHER acting selfishly OR selflessly (at the expense of myself).
A happy balance has to include a little of both at times.......
