What do people think is safe but really isnt?

Currently doing this, really isnt fun.

A lot of what I do isnt considered abnormal. Like hang out with my girlfriend after work, or just give her a ride to work on the weekends if she happens to not be able to get herself there. Just small things like that.

At first it was no biggie. Didn't want gas money or anything, I dont mind helping out even if I am tired. I like making others lives easier even if I have to cut into my free time or do some weird sleep schedule for the weekend.

Man once in a while is cool.

But you keep doing it. Every day you go out of your way to help somebody. Every weekend you drive somebody to work. Or pick something up. Or leave to go fix somebodies shit.

All I am doing is normal everyday stuff that I just happen to know how to do or am able to do. But I've been neglecting a lot of my own free down time in order to do these things and it piles up on you fast.

I feel so shitty and tired and sick all the time. Not sleeping right because I am trying to take care of everything. It just wears you down. Like I just said lack of sleep, feeling depressed, grumpy and angry easily as a result of all this.

It is said that it's the small things that count, as in gift giving etc.

That also holds true for how you feel and what you do with your time. You might only do small things, but they can add up and weight a ton.
