Do you ever feel like you take care of and do everything for everyone? Who takes care of you? I have generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks according to the medical profession but, could it just be that to many people expect to much from me instead of taking on the task or responsibility themselves they rely on me to do it for them? And when it is not done to their satisfaction I am to blame. So I stress and try to do to much only to do nothing well. As I get older it gets harder to juggle. And of course the next question is have I allowed it? Am I contributing to the craziness by always doing it for them? I know I am a people pleaser and sometimes I just do things to keep the peace rather than deal with the fallout. My sister told me I was the bossy one....I don't really think thats true I think I have been the boss so that things get done, planned and taken care of so that it eliminates others stress, frustration or anger with the situation just make everyone happy. I don't want to be that person any more.....I resent others for expecting me to be that person. How do I stop the cycle? I know "say no" more often, tell them nicely to do it themselves but, yet some how it alway comes back to me...??/??
