I've been a people pleaser most of my life and have self sacrificed for decades to the detriment of my MH.

I have recently taken a serious step back from multiple people who have taken advantage of me throughout this period and recently been very disrespectful towards me.

I now have healthy boundaries in place and will no longer tolerate being disrespected in any way.

I can still care from a distance but most importantly I care about my wellbeing.

I have chosen to make myself a priority and to care about my needs and requirements to have a healthy quality of life.

Hey @janedoe2 I have done the same recently to rid my life of toxic people that really do not deserve my time or energy. It is a massive step to do that but also a necessary one for our own mental, emotional and physical wellbeing ...so I absolutely applaud you for what you have done and hope this does lead to a better life for you going forward

I need to take a leaf out of your book! 👏🏼

@janedoe2 @Zoe7 

I have done the same as both of you. @janedoe2 

Such strength and conviction. I like it. 

@Zoe7 It's never a case of should I or shouldn't I? It's necessity.

I've done similarly, and the peace and healing that can result is profound 💗
