The Problem with being a Rescuer

In analyzing this whole rescuer scenario, I see a major problem. If one holds fast to the virtues of rescuing, then to allow anyone to help them (rescuer) would be an outward sign of failure. The rescuer, by very definite of title and role, cannot let anyone in to Their problems or issues. Outside help may be offered but no one is allowed inside the inner sanctum of saving, everyone else but themselves.

It sounds like quite a conundrum, because who doesn't need assistance even once in awhile? Doesn't ones shoulders simply ache with the pleasing pressure of others burdens plus their own?

I remember how insanely difficult it was to even acknowledge my troubles and inner turmoil, much less having the courage to voice them.

Hmm, i finally reached my breaking point and really had little choice but to hold out my out stretched hand. Everything crashed at once. Now, I am in learning mode, working on balance.

I wore my previous title well and with honor. Now, I have retired the tiara. Helping is a two way street. I can travel in both directions.
