I really relate to this so thanks for dicussing it. I think I have spent my life, now 70!, doing things for others and putting them first, no matter how I personally felt. Presently, I am at such a low point that I am prioritising myself for the first time and I wish that I had done this years ago although this dramatic change is very difficult. Doing this has meant honestly expressing my feelings for the first time but the more I do it, the easier it becomes. I think it is essential for our own inner peace. Stick with it and do not leave it for another 30 years. You have made a good start.
Thank you! It is so hard to move towards taking care of myself when I spent a life time so far trying to make everyone else ok but it does bring more peace of mind.
