What Is Your New Year's Resolution For 2017?

[lostforgottensoul]

I didn't see a thread about this for 2017 and thought it would be cool to have a thread about our 2017 New Year's Resolution.

I don't have one yet but I would like my dog to be fully trained as my Service dog in 2017. Maybe taking a full year to do.

Another would be to be able to go to some places by myself (or as a team with my dog) like shopping or a cafe or a park.

Also, maybe resolve my hatred for religon (though not sure if that will be able to be done in a year).

I just want to be more self sufficient, independent again and take large steps in my healing and I have a feeling that this will happen this year.

What is your 2017 New Year's Resolution? Any topic permitted! :)

I want to work on my happiness and appreciate the small things happening around me. Keep up with my fitness and don't work too much.

That's great new year's resolution @Katiesue! We all need to learn to appreciate the small things in life, don't we? My therapist talks about that a lot.

And yeah, keeping up with fitness is important for sure. I wish I could do that but oh well. I do what I can.

Turn back time.

No, really: Learn how to do again what has gotten me through in the past years without losing it, and apply that patch whole year long.

Turn back time.

Haha! Oh do I wish!

My last years resolution was to practice self care and compassion I think I've done quite well on that on. So I'd like to continue that it's really helped me put myself first.

This year? *Deep breath* at some point this year I'd like to go back to work. Scary as hell I never thought I'd be here saying this but here it is. Even just part time to begin with. I've come to the realisation that I'm as far as I can go in the situation I'm in. I now need a routine of some sort something to get up for in the morning. More time with actual human beings I've found I've become I little socially inept. Like anything you have to practice being in a social setting and if you don't you lose practice, that's what's happened to me.

It's going to be tough going back to work but I think it's important to push myself as much as I can without being too hard on myself and getting into the all or nothing pit fall. I need to move forward not back. Plus the fact that my therapy is coming to an end (charity only gives a certain amount of sessions) so I need money for a new therapist. Either that or go on a waiting list for two years again.

at some point this year I'd like to go back to work. Scary as hell I never thought I'd be here saying this but here it is.

That's awesome! Scary, I know, but working gives me at least a little bit of indenpendence feeling. I will be jumping back into independence head first this year as my dad & step mom are moving out next month and it will be very hard fincially but it will be a big step in the right direction.

So though I was only out of work for 2 years after my accident due to physical issues, not mental, I haven't been fully back on my own since. So thats a big step for me and very scary so I sort of understand how scary that is.

I am also very socially inept. I am trrrified of people and freak and I am that weird little freak that everyone makes fun of and laughs at.

 

[NoWhereKnowWhere]

If people make fun or laugh at you they are the ones who are socially inept. Either that or total arse holes. In fact both!

I didn't see a thread about this for 2017 and thought it would be cool to have a thread about...

I want to approach a new life that allows me to finally leave behind my abusers and to go towards good people. I have a huge longing to just be able to communicate with good decent people.

 

[lostforgottensoul]

Amen @Freedomfighter! Leave those abusers behind! I know there are good people out there for you to find!

I think we all long to communicate with good people!
