That was my problem too. I projected this air of being independent and self-reliant and not needing anything. It cut me off from people. I didn't ask for things or share anything or allow myself to be vulnerable. Even with my husband and daughter, I took care of them rather then asking them to take care of me. I didn't even know what being cared for would feel like.

I'm so sorry you are feeling so desperate and exhausted. I hope you can hang on and find some love and care and peace in your life.
