You have a root to your problem.That you will have to find. I had the problem that everything was my fault or I had to be responsible for everything. What I found out about myself was it was from not having my dad around, I kept wanting to please everyone to be loved by someone that could take the place of him. I have a motto...It takes 3 weeks to break a habit and 3 weeks to start a new habit. Try it,it works, give yourself 6 weeks to change what you don't like that you are doing. Just say NO

Maybe you have to make a list - could be a form of ADD.  I know I get doing things and get distracted too.  As long as you get the important stuff done.

i'm quite the opposite, i have a lot of buns in the oven and like it that way!  maybe it's my short attention span, or maybe i just like to feel i'm busy.  whatever the reason, i can't just sit and finish one task when i know there are others that need... well at least a quick look!  and then i get sidetracked for a while, but have faith!  i will get back to it sometime... sometime...\n\ni don't feel 'overwhelmed' this way, i feel 'immersed'.  for me, 'overwhelming' is one HUGE job looming over me that i haven't started yet.  i much prefer a lot of little jobs that are halfway done... if only i could remember where i put them... granniewinkie! can you help me?

Yes, my past comes and bites me in the ass all the time...some days I wish I could have a "do over"..so I could make better choices...I know youre not feeling sorry for yourself, it's just so frustrating sometimes...like you want to scream"I'm Sorry, I'm trying my best, I'm not the same person !" Hang in there and keep making good choices and doing the right thing now...

yes i get like that all the time. Its mainly because of stress and your body feels tense and makes you feel all out of sorts. I actually feel like that today. I get it every once in a while and although I haven't seen a doctor about it, I dont think thats the way for me. I always just need like one day to regroup and totally think things over. It is all mind over matter and whatever is making you stress is something you need to address because thats the problem.

Sometimes. I feel overwhelmed by little things sometimes because the big things seem to drain me. Sometimes reaching out to help that certain person is just too much.

That's everyday for me!  What do I do?  I just take it one task at a time and face it head-on.

I think it depends on what type of manager.  I'm in middle management and feel like I'm basically a glorified babysitter.  I have to make sure my staff is doing their jobs, getting results in a timely manner.  I have to reprimand them when they do wrong and give them kudos when they do good.

Always. Just always. I'm always doing stuff I don't really want to - because someone else expects it of me!

This is just life. It if weren't for the bad times, we wouldn't enjoy the good ones as much.\nIt seems like you are too good and willing to give what you have to help somebody, I used to be this way also, but the truth is if you don't take care of yourself, nobody else will, and if you don't take care of yourself you can't take care of anybody else.\nWe can't just be as free with what we have as when we were\nteenagers, then we had time to gain it back, now we need to hold on to what we have. I would recommend that you break the cycle of helping too much, I have the feeling you help others, not just the men in your life. If you are a person who feels the need to help others, then there are plenty of volunteer opportunities out there and it won't cost you money. But I know that sometimes we feel that love is worth any cost, but you end up losing by giving  all and then having nothing left for your own needs.\nUnless you are extremely wealthy, I suggest you start trying\nto take care of your needs, and when that is done, be putting something aside for your own future when you need it.

I used to have the outlook, that I am just one person, so therefore, can't really make a difference.  The older I get, the more I realize this isn't really true.  If everyone had that same view, then nothing would get done in this world to make a difference in someone else's life.  As a nurse, I try to give the best care that I can to my patients, and by educating them on taking better care of themselves, I feel that I may be helping others in the long run.  I take care of many elderly patients as well, and though they may not need any medical attention at that particular moment, I will just sit at their bedside (if they are open to this), to talk with them, or to just hold their hand, to simply let them know that someone cares.  I volunteer my time as a nurse, to help with community health fairs, and traveled to San Antonio last September, to help with the Hurricane Katrina victims.  I think that I gain as much, or more from helping in these types of things, as the people that need the help.  I also donate blood, and am on the bone marrow donor list, in the hopes of helping someone.\n\nAnother way that I like to volunteer, is by simply picking up trash where ever I go.  I have a dog, and we take him walking everyday.  I began to notice one day many years ago, that trash is a prevalent problem, everywhere.  I started carrying a bag with me, a pair of gloves, and a long stick with a point on the end to help reach items of trash that I couldn't otherwise reach, and quickly developed the habit of picking up trash.  I've had many wonderful comments from others that have observed this habit of mine.  I only wish that more people would be concerned enough, not to leave trash lying around. \n\nI'm not sure that anything I described above, is what you were exactly referring to in your question, but I feel very strongly that we should all give of our time if we are able to do so.  Simply being able to help one person, can be so very rewarding.  I also realize that I chose nursing as my careeer, and that I am paid to give the care that I do, but I  tend to gain much more from just "being there" for the patients that have no one else, than I do from the more technical aspects of nursing.\n\nAfterthought... I'm not looking for any recognition or praise for anything that I've done, or do; I'm merely trying to make a point.

My goodness! If you've been a caregiver for a day you  have the right to be tired! I've worked as a careaid in a psychiatric hospital for 14 years and I'm still a rookie compared to most of the other staff who work at the hospital. If you care about what you do and you obviously do, then being a caregiver requires emotional, physical and mental energy. People always ask me how I've managed to work there so long. The way that I look at it there are no guarantees in life. When I take care of my patients I always think about the fact that one day it could be me in that bed. It could be me, it could be one of my parents or any loved one of mine. I try to care for my patients in the same way that I would hope to be treated or want my loved one to be treated. Thankfully I work with a great team of people and we support each other and help each other with the tasks at hand. I don't think that I could do the job without the support of my co -workers. \nIf you are feeling lonely it sounds as though you may not have that same kind of work environment or support system in place. It's important to have some kind of outlet as well. You can't be a constant source of fuel for others without filling up your own tank on a regular basis.  You've got to remember to take care of yourself too. Do something fun on your days off. Be with people you love and can laugh with. Go easy on yourself, be good to yourself and be proud of the great job you do!
