Lost my sh*t tonight

I don't know about everyone else but having suffered depression and anxiety for most of my life ( 43 yrs young ) we the collective, and I say that from many I have met and chatted to on this forum get that we are a most compassionate and loving of beings, to our own cost for the most part and yet we suck it up as we weigh up the feelings of others above and beyond our own, to what end I ask ? To be silenced by compassion for another ? To forego our needs for the sake of another ? Well tonight and justifiably so I vented my frustration and that's not to say that now I am not without guilt all be it not mine to bare. Where does it stop ? Who ends it ? Why the hell do we give a sh* t anyway ?

No I don't want to change and why should I ? But the world doesn't accept me, simples ! So why should I bother with it ?

    I am going to say this thought before I read all the other responses because I might forget it.  

    On air planes when how to use the oxygen mask is demonstrated, we are told to put our own mask on first before we try to help others.  Good advice, but difficult to do it.

    I have a terrible propensity to put myself aside in order to mold myself to suit others.  I do it automatically.  There is such a freedom in speaking my mind, my truth, without taking to heart the reactions of others and refuse to feel guilty afterward.  Every now and then I have experienced it.  

    I want to give myself permission to BE. ME.  I want to give you permission also.

    Hang in there
