I'm really happy for you! Believe it or not, this was a good thing. You're trying different things. Bravo! Your statement, "I always think of everyone else first..." - ugh. So many of us do this. We overdo it, to our detriment. I'm beginning to understand that some of us, I definitely suspect you are in the group, somehow bury our real selves by always putting others first. We lose our identity and become shadows of who we used to be.
There's nothing wrong with being considerate of others, but the lesson I'm learning is we have to protect ourselves, nourish ourselves...we were meant to be here, after all.
