I Realize That I

[Deleted member 12723]

I finally realized that after so many years of therapy and hard work going through every kind of emotion, that I am maturing and finally growing up although I am still a kid at heart.

I am doing the very best I can nowadays with the knowledge and experience I have acquired over the years and I feel very good about this fact. It makes me like me better now.

I realize that many of my thoughts and opinions were not my own, that they were my abusers'. Even lately I can see that I want to do or want what my abuser (of the moment) wants or does. I am really happy to realize this, now I can fix it.

I realize that I know now that my daughter really needs help and I have to move out and begin to rebuild my life and cut her off. I realize that this could cause my daughter to quit speaking to me and to refuse to let me see the girls.

I realize that we should all not be so hard on ourselves and that if things hadn't been so hard on us then life would be easier. So treat yourselves with kindness. Must remember to take my own advice too x

I realize that it's not my fault when the people around me make bad choices - it's their choice, not my responsibility. What I do about the situation is my responsibility.

I can let the distortion prevail or I can challenge it and stand tall.

@gizmo that is a tough realization to come to. I'm sorry you have to go through this. You have my prayers.

Thanks Britt. It is a tough choice but I have come to the end of my rope and my life calls for change and I feel that I am ready to go out on my own.

I realize (yet again, for the 400th time) that everyone has good days and bad days and feels sorry for themselves for a few minutes. Everyone experiences hurt feelings and healing feelings. I don't have to go into a huge drama because I'm a little depressed today.

I realize that compromised oxygen probably doesn't help my thoughts any.

Let alone one person says do this, another says there's no point. One says stay, one says go. You'd think it would be easy to just make my own mind up for myself. But it isn't. :confused:

I realize that my therapist isn't going to stay around forever. Just found out she took another job someplace else. Have her until the end of May. Then I may have to go to see a man. That's all they have left at this particular therapy place.

I realize that life is full of many, many options and choices. The bad choices I have made, I have learned from and the good choices are like frosting on a cake. Sometimes I stumble along not quite knowing where I am going.

But I also realize that I have become a get it done person and do not procrastinate anymore.

I realize that my body won't be able to keep up the pace of the last 28 years. It has its limits and I need to take care for it or we will break.
