I know that there are aspects of my past where I was continually expected to be the giver, and being allowed to "take" is a hard thing to get into one's head.

Thanks for making me feel less alone, too! It's a struggle but I find it's so worth it, everyday, to work to change how I handle things--choosing healthier ways.

It's so hard for me to be the "taker" instead of the "giver". I find it unnerving to show the vulnerable side of myself to others, even my friends who I trust. I want to be SuperWoman who can do it all alone. And then I wonder what glory there really is in that?? Should I be proud when I exhaust myself and push my friends away so that I can do it all?? No. For me, the challenge is to let people in and ask for help. It's a struggle. This is something I struggle with ALL the time. It’s so hard for me to be the “taker” instead of the “giver”.
