I wrote in an entry not too long ago that I tend to give support, not receive it. And that's not necessarily to say that I'm there for people and then they turn around and aren't there for me, though that has happened at times throughout my life--I think it happens to everyone at some point. My personality type is to deal with things myself...and, as I mentioned before, even tend to prefer being left to do that or at least am just too used to dealing alone. I think over the past week or two, I've grown tired of giving support, though, at least for a while. I haven't checked on any of my support groups here lately, in which I mainly try to offer support. I guess I'm feeling like I need to spend more time thinking about myself and maybe paying more attention to other things I enjoy right now, so I think that's what I'm going to do. I don't think I'll check DS for a while.

I'd think it'd be important to do both. Part of it is about offering support, and the other part is about receiving support from others. But I agree, a third part of it is about paying attention to how it's all coming together in your life. You kinda need down time, from time to time. And I think everybody ultimately has to deal with things themself. I think it's to your credit that you see this and want to do it. Some people keep waiting and waiting.
