Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

On another note, after reading all the responses, I don't really agree with the quote so much. Personally, I believe I should take care of me for me, not for another person. A healthy amount of ego that encourages some self-worth is good in my opinion. Although, probably for me, the quote about taking care of ourselves so that we are able to care for others is more fitting. It is my nature to overwhelm myself with caring for others, then let myself go.

I've already noticed that with my new job I have gone without eating a few times. I worked for two sixteen hour shifts in a row last week and never felt hungry. When I got home after the second day, I realized that I had not eaten in two days.

After realizing that, I've been forcing myself to eat something for breakfast, even though I hate eating early in the morning. I'll eat a bit of granola with yogurt or some fruit. I do need to lose weight, but doing it by not eating is not healthy and can lead to other health issues.

I guess, now that I think about it, the quote does sort of apply to me. I do need to take care of myself for others. If I don't take care of myself, then, of course, I would eventually not perform well at the job that I do. That would mean that I need to do so for myself and others.
