Hello lovely lady! :D
This is 100% true. I have suffered every day for over 20 years with chronic back pain and its stopped me from doing things the way I used to, when I was healthy and my OCD forced me to put everything in its "spot". After I got hurt I had to get to the point where I realized I couldn't put everything in its "spot" anymore because my back pain wouldn't let me do it. It took me a long time to get to the point where I could let things go that weren't as important as others, like dusting, my house is always covered in dust because I can't bend and reach like I used to. It upsets and stresses me out still if I think about it too much, but I've learned that for my mental health I've got to relax and accept my limitations or I have to keep trying and dealing with the excess pain that comes with the extra effort. :D
There is no way to make everyone happy, ever, so like you said, make yourself happy. :D If you can only please one person (and you aren't hurting anyone else) then let that one person be yourself, you're worth it. :D
God bless you and your wonderful family. :D Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! :D
