The wilting flower wants to protect others
<p>Why do I silence my own needs just to be available for others, I feel like all my time, love and energy is so focused on others that I ignore my own needs. I've noticed that I constantly support and help others all at my own expense but why? I really don't understand this, can I really thrive if I constantly neglect myself. </p><p>   I always find myself staying up late to help my friends with their problems but I have been battling with anxiety that hasn't rested in days. Even though I know that am beyond exhausted I keep saying yes to favours just to avoid disappointing others.</p><p> But is this really worth it, I have seen myself in ruins countless times. But now I won't stand by and watch myself get ruined. I do more than enough for others, so why should I let this constant guilt I feel when ever I fail to help others take control over me. I will finally take charge because I also have the right to rest and say "no" whenever I feel like, from now I will set boundaries with people Yes I too deserve love and support from others. I refuse to lose myself trying to hold others together.</p>
