Think of yourself for once. I severely, SEVERELY regret not saying "It's time for me to take care of myself for once" long ago. You should not have to deal with that regret.

for sure. Buddha, himself, did not recommend servitude & sacrifice (apart from when wisely done in mutual relationships, such as husband & wife). Buddha taught to do good for others without harming our own welfare. On the moral/worldly level, Buddha taught:

One truly is the protector of oneself; who else could the protector be?
Let one not neglect one's own welfare for the sake of another, however great.
Clearly understanding one's own welfare, let one be intent upon the good.
