I Realize That I

[ms spock]

I realise that I get tripped up on my depressive thinking. I think my thinking is real when it is not, it is distorted.

 

[The Albatross]

I realize that I have some difficulty (still) identifying my emotions if they aren't negative.

 

[Anrish]

I realize that it's much easier to push me down emotionally since I let emotions happen again. Still have to find the balance.

 

[The Albatross]

I realize that anybody that responds when I am vulnerable in a manner like my mother does causes me to hit a flash point. In my mind, the relationship with her is not optional... but others decidedly are. Not sure how to get around that one it's like playing whack-a-mole.

In my mind, the relationship with her is not optional... but others decidedly are.

:hug:
I realize that-
my blood ties are fact...my relationship style is optional...as I am part of the dance. Adult to adult is how I treat my son. Only on paramount occasions do I pull rank and say, "What are the only two words I want to hear?" (such as with my intervention into scooting him into therapy as he had secondary PTSD...from me:banghead:)

and still I give audience should he be hurt because he does not owe me his love: it is his choice of gift.

My son and I use to play that game together for real ( and I also have been that mole).:clown:

I realize that one of my triggers is being judged and that I am horrible at saying how I feel and it is something I need to seriously start working on.

 

[Recovery4Me]

@holdenmonty ... your feelings are special to me. :hug:

 

[holdenmonty]

@Recovery4Me thank you :hug: right now I'm at a point where I feel like I'm being judged at work and home and trying to figure out how to tell the individuals that I feel like I'm being judged by that I'm feeling judged by them without verbally attacking them because at work it would only get me into more trouble and at home I would only make my wife angry with me for verbally attacking her brother.

 

[Recovery4Me]

@holdenmonty ...write it out in your diary perhaps (before it all tumbles out)? Practice couldn't hurt there, maybe?

I realize that we are stronger together through sharing but sometimes we may need to practice as we can be bad ar$hes when provoked....:clown:!:tup:

 

[ms spock]

I realise that I am capable and competent.

 

[myheart]

I think it's true!

Thank you so much for telling me that you liked my post and that you felt that it was true...I was upset with myself, thinking that maybe I overstepped my bounds with sharing, but you made me feel that it was ok to share...Thank you.

 

[myheart]

whack-a-mole.

Oh my goodness, Albatross! I don't know if my response has anything to do what you were expressing, but in my life, i feel like 'things' (moles!) are constantly coming up, and I Whack them(deal with the situation in a kind, competent manner). Is this what they call 'life'? Hehe! Thank you for the simile, it was awesome and gave me a smile to keep on keeping on! :)
