Thank goodness for everyone here! Your advice gave me the courage to get me out of burnout and an abusive caregiving situation. Now I have to deal with guilt and loneliness, but I know it will take time to adjust to a happier life that I know I deserve. Thank you everyone
So be patient and kind to yourself Katalina. It will happen. I first needed about seven months to even begin to feel like myself. It is still a work in progress. Best wishes to you.
I hope you have found your peace with "all of it." I wish you a bright, happy, peaceful future.
I'm glad you are doing the right thing for yourself. And you recognized it was time to make a change. I wish I had done the same before the anger and resentment had poisoned my judgement and compassion. It will take time to adapt, but I know you can do it. (((hugs)))
