I Realize That I

I realize that, it is actually possible that (technically, according to what researchers say about it), that if I have a particular co-morbidity (Idk) , I would be 20-30% younger emotionally than my chronological age. The biggest part being, no matter how well (overly) informed of facts I was, or intelligent (or not) I was, or independent I was, or afraid to ask for help or reveal things or have a voice I was, at 14 when stuff occurred I might have had the emotional resources of a 9 1/2 to 11 year old. :wideeyed: And never mind, alone at 5 or 6 for example, would have been more like 4-ish. I suppose that would explain terror. :wideeyed:

I realize that without the above, thinking about the Miracle question, I see a lot of my reactions and behaviours are different versions of the same thing, fueled by the same, fear, avoidance etc. (Different flavours but all ice cream, so to speak.) There's no need to deal with each one independently, but rather address the bigger issue(s).
 
Whenever I've see yiur posts around here @Junebug I've always been struck by yiur kindness and compassion. Remember one day in particular feeling very low and desperate and yiur kind words meant a lot.

I often feel my thoughts or posts don't matter so know what you mean. Though I'm sure your thoughts matter as much as anybodies :hug:

I realise that I'm slowly getting closer to having faith in my own perceptions over those of people who like to put me down / control me.
 
Dear @Berlinda how sweet you are, thank you for your kind words. :hug:

I imagine this is the same thing. And your's matter as well. :hug:
 
I realize my son is at that age where he knows everything and feels the need to voice everything he thinks, regardless of how it might make you feel. Rather angry with him right now. Said some hurtful things to me last night in the name of "truth". Get so tired of that.
