Dear janet---what YOU know about you, and what you can handle, is more
important than what OTHERS think about you. You know your limits, and are
striving to accept/accommodate to them. I think most CGs would agree that
asking for help is hard---we too feel we should be able to do it all, out
of love. But gradually we learn that "denial is a river in Egypt", and
does us no good---that some "goods" have to be sacrificed for other
"goods", each being appropriate in its season. here's another nudge, and
please DO take care of yourself, for we need you here all in one piece, and
ego/shame/perceptions/distortions really have nothing to do with that!
