You are an inspiration Ms. Spock!

 

[ms spock]

Thanks @Eleanor I am doing the hardest things for me to do. It has got to pay off at some point!

 

[Ellabella44]

good for you !!

 

[ms spock]

@Ellabella44 - it was my Mount Everest!

And if it is any help, IMHO any professor worth their salt will WANT to know what you have to say. I certainly would. And you are an exceptionally clear writer.

Thanks @Eleanor! I am really struggling with it all. It is HUGE for me!

I am learning to be honest. I am learning to stand and speak up.

I am learning to not operate like I am still living with my family. It is so hard to leave that family home mentally - I am so stuck there and thus the fight within myself to say something real - I feel like nothing I can do is every

Reading David Burns' "Feeling Good" and it is really helping to see how distorted in my cognitions. I have so many! So doing any work is a major struggle - life or death to me - that is so irrational but it is so real to me. I hope to change myself more. It has taken a long time to get where I am today, and I have worked so hard to get here, though I can't manage being around people, and I can't work - but I am so hoping to get there.

Um. Ms. Spock. Producing school work IS working. Really.

I'm glad you are getting perspective on the cognitive distortions. It is SO important to get a good accurate working model of the world and especially you in it.

 

[ms spock]

I get your point @Eleanor but it is not like holding down employment. But yes it has value and worth and I do celebrate that I do it, which I am not right now. I am back to struggling with the irrational thinking.

 

[Eleanor]

Hang in there, Ms. Spock. Keep checking that thinking...

 

[ms spock]

The thinking is a major impediment @Eleanor but I will get there.
