I Realize That I

[Anrish]

I realize that it is okay to drink alcohol once in a while - when I feel like enjoying the taste.

I realise I have made some small achievements today.
I realise that recognising those small achievements is a massive achievement,

I realize my husband is handling the past due taxes. Maybe not as quickly as I want but he is handling it.

I realize I had a lot more 'stress' going on in University than most, because academically it was not challenging. Well, most of every other time & even now, because of ptsd.

I guess too it affects my perceptions & feelings most of the time at some level. I don't know to what degree my conclusions are accurate.

 

[Let It Be]

I realize that a lot of my self-care now and not being able to accept the good stuff goes back to having that mind-set of not being worthy of it.

I realize that I can see how this began way back with my family of origin but gradually I am taking steps to accept the good stuff that comes my way. I am worth it.

@Let It Be Excellent thought! So accept this please...:clown: :hug: Wanted to do that since reading a few of your recent posts. You are doing grand processing!!!! Keep up the good work:tup:.

and to @Britt.f7 I realize you are such a stealth supporter and thank you for your encouragement along my journey and so many other members.:hug: You have made a difference to feeling heard.


I realize that I have two areas now to self focus for upgrading this ole' gal. One is the Meditation Challenge @Ms Spock ((thank you)) and the other is chewing on an assertiveness site thanks to a members thread.

*I realize I am brimming in gratitude for this site! Delightful.:happy:

I realise I just have to do the really hard things over and over again, until I normalise them and break them down.

I realize that I have to play the cards that I am dealt.

@gizmo ...

I realize that you made me think of Kenny Rodgers and one of his country card songs!:clown:

Wow, when I pay attention to the number of times & situations my brain (or ptsd) reminds me of details of 'traumas' so to speak it's no wonder I feel as I do, or feel I'm living 2 realities at once. I have to replace the negatives with positives. Not denying the negatives, but making positive associations. It sounds crazy but feels less crazy knowing there's a reason for how I feel though.

I don't know anything about structural dissociation but after watching the video posted by @shimmerz it did come to me I had to be the non-existent child. Which does coincide with how I feel God (or others) see me too. Maybe that's why I don't find the inner child idea relatable to me. I was not an adult, but I felt I needed (for others & circumstances) to not exist. Off the radar (& rightfully so).

I think trust is always a gamble, but it has or needs a component of mind, heart & soul to determine if it's worth risking.

 

[Let It Be]

I realize that I no longer can respond to any e-mails that I might receive in the future concerning my former job.

After receiving another one today, it causes me too much anxiety as it keeps opening up a wound for me.

I realize that to get my peace back, I will have to step back and no longer contribute in sharing my thoughts with the articles that are being written about my former employment.
