I Realize That I

[ms spock]

I realise that walking with my walking group three mornings per week is so good for me! Socially and physically!
I realise that I am growing and changing a quite a fast rate at the moment!
I realise that I am learning so much, and it will take some time to sink in.
I realise that I can have my say, and stand up for myself.
I realise that I am no match for the Borderlines and the Narcissists, I have to just walk away.

I realize that...I do not want to leave the flat today.

I realize that as my anxiety level lowers and I begin to feel better, I realize how much anxiety I have had in my life over the years and now I really need to begin to watch how it affects me in my everyday life.

I realize that at the time with work, family, friends, I feel like I had no choice and thus anxiety was always there and now I realize I can longer be overwhelmed like I was with it.

I realize that I need to have as many days without stress or anxiety as I can, thus I can have a better tolerance to deal with it when it hits.

I realize just how far I have come since I began therapy, so many, many years ago. The lessons I am learning now are harder and more complicated but I now have a rock solid foundation to stand up as I continue my healing process and am very proud of myself for coming so far from being the perfect victim.:happy:

I need to not stop reaching out, even if it makes for a world I don't understand.

(The f*ck is one supposed to do with 'victim who just lived with/near assholes all too long, not an asshole.' feedback? And other things one just doesn't find in books. All over I'd be happier if could just make mental maps out of self help manuals, at this point, but no, people interactions, laissons des jours.)

I realize that I can do more than I expected and that it's okay to be nervous.

@Ronin
Put an amazing person in a terrible situation, and they will do terrible things, in amazing ways. People are complicated. That's okay. Who a person is, is often not what they do, but how they do it.

I realize that when I ran into my neighbor at Walmart, I did have expectations that she would ask how I was doing after she had told me about she and her husband but no, she didn't.

I realize that I still have those damn expectations and it still bothers me. I realize I was trying to tell myself, it wasn't affecting me, but it was!:banghead:

I am learning all the time

 

[Ronin]

Just lessons.

 

[Anrish]

I realize that I feel at ease here.

I realise that all the lying is really getting to me, especially when people leave out important bits that actually mean they are not a victim of their families at all, but someone their families need to protect themselves from.
