Taking care of yourself is NOT a luxury, it is a necessity. In 1985, I was so stressed out, I believed, you should NEVER use physical punishment, but I had spanked my child. I confessed to my doctor and he referred me to an organization the could help. In 1985, California's DCFS had a "Respite Program" & I was accepted. The Rules for a Respite Program participant. I was required to have a licensed/approved babysitter take care of all my children, only 2 for me. I was required to have the sitter take over my responsibilities for 4 hours, once a week. I was required to have the same exact day each week AND the same four hours each week. I was required to agree that I would NOT do any chores or any errands DURING THAT 4 HOURS. It was suggested that I start out the program, by spending r hours at the local park. I MUST use those 4 hours ONLY to do "Fun" things. Everyone's "Fun" activities are different, so 4 hours just enjoying a view (the park) will help you to discover OR Re-discover your "Fun" choices. The program lasted 3 months with a possible 3 more months. The program was " just what the doctor Ordered", it worked wonders. In 1991, I discovered an acquaintance that was in dire need of Respite Care. She suffered from "Chronic Stress". I provided her with the rules and volunteered to be her replacement. She agreed, 4 months later, she was a totally different and much happier and healthier person and mother. Urban Dictionary
