Thank you wonderful people! I feel.like I'm getting so well, in some ways, that I don't know where to start!
I've had some pretty major signs of this.
One being a test with housing. Our tenancy manager and another builder who was working for our housing company took a major dislike for us and set up a targeting campaign that I called them out on, last week, and the weeks preceding.
Really mean, dishonest people.
I stood up for myself and my security here, in written form, mainly via emails and it worked out very favourably. Old me would have just felt really intimidated, would have allowed myself to be bullied, would have not had the waywithal to put in protective boundaries, like I did. I was very articulate, assertive, reasonable and a little fierce, but it got the job done :-).
It did take it out of me. My brain felt it, which is the annoying ongoing symptoms that I have to manage, the "brain drain" and post stress mental exhaustion was pretty intense, hense no energy to document here and respond for a bit, but I felt the love from you, my dear friends here, so thank you muchly! For the kind words and thoughts!
More good things have happened, with my beautiful, darling grown up babies, too, but that is a tale for another time. Tomorrow perhaps.:-)
