Today, I had a mini mental breakdown...
Is there such a thing?
In the last 30 days I have been constantly drowned by other peoples problems. It's strange, coz so many people feel the need to confide in me. Don't get me wrong, I love to help out anyone who is in need. But lately, it has become a little too overwhelming and it started to take a toll on me.
I started to manifest thier problems, like my brain was thinking things that I knew where not my own thoughts. Problems with partners was the main issue with most of them and so the issues started to come out between Matty & I. I had no idea why I was feeling all these weird feelings towards him, like insecure, angry, sad etc ... when I knew deep down he hadn't actually done anything for me to feel that way towards him and I kept thinking to myself...why am I being so crazy?
Then it hit me...everyone had transferred their fustrations, emotions & feelings to me when they confided in me, Murphys Law & all, and eventually it built up to such a degree that I was expression them sub-conciously without even thinking about it. I was so glad that I had realised this coz then I grabbed some paper and a pen and wrote all my fustrations down and as soon as I was finished, I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It was instant relief. I felt 100% better!
So now, when people tell me their problems, I transfer the emotion into an old scrap book of mine so I know that I've relieved the pressure from my own mind and locked it up in a book, never to be seen again!
It totally works!!!

Thats cool and all but I think that as long as you keep in mind whilst listening and being that shoulder and ear for people, you must also remember that you have the choice whether to take on board what they tell you. So in some ways I agree with you but you could also look at it from another view. That with so many family and friends turning to you with their problems feeling that you can help them in any shape or form, must mean that they obviously look at you and think that your life must be in order and somewhat better than theirs to be able to turn to for that support.
I hope that makes sense? Can you help me?... lol
