I am definitely a person who values and NEEDS space to reregulate and decompress. Things add up for me quickly but take a really long time for me to process them and feel stabilized. This can cause a lot of confusion and impatience from my daughter and other people around me in the past and in todays environment. I am such an avid over sharer and people pleaser that I have constantly burnt myself out trying to achieve what everyone calls "Balance". When it comes down to boundaries, I am at the beginning of my own journey, though I have many break throughs. Mum guilt is not one I have leaped over yet. Putting in a verbal and physical boundary such as "I am taking space for myself", is HUGE! But I have been doing it and even when my daughter goes on a rampage about it, I remove myself completely and everything settles. After time to myself we are ALL regulated and ready to have more fun!
