When something weighs on my heart but it’s not about me….

Posted on February 17, 2014 by Kathleen McGrath, LPC

Do you know what I mean?

Someone I love is struggling. That person has choices and problems and decisions to make. It is not about me; it is not my problem; it is not my stress.

I know this… I don’t get to jump on Facebook or here and shout, “Woe is me! I am stressed about….” because it is not my stress.

But I am stressed about this person I love. I am very stressed.

Is this when being an empathetic person has gone too far?

Anyway, that’s my thought for today.

    You care about this person very much, so yes it’s very natural to feel stress and feel helpless because you cannot do anything about it  Dee, February’s daughter http:// forgetfuld.blogspot.com
