Did you know there's an accounts book where all the debits and credits of who gives and who takes support are listed? There's a very complex formula, as you can imagine, to figure out the exact value of each post, in terms of debit or credit. We all take turns, too, with it -- it's too much for any one person...
Um...
NOT!
C'mon, Li'l Nurse Poodle, I'm teasing you. You know that no one is keeping track -- except maybe you. You've offered support so generously for so long, even if there really was such an account book, you'd have plenty of reserves in there still.
All of us go through periods when we give more support than we need in return, or when we need more support than we can give. It sounds as though right now you could use a good deal of support from us, because it can't be pleasant feeling the way you've described. I know I can't stand it when I feel as though I'm not understanding something, or when I want to respond and be helpful, but just have nothing in my head to offer. It must be hard on you, too, when you feel as though you're not offering "enough."
Here's a secret: you are enough. If you're here, breathing in and out, that's enough.
I hope you feel better soon.
