Okay, I hpe this kills this thread, because I don't want to dwell. I got some really GREAT advice/suggestion/encouragement and that is exactly what I needed at the time. I also wanted to give a quick responce to everyone who took the time to read and help. Love this fucking place. Kisses ~ CG :wink:
JustAsking - I am currently in therapy with a clinical psychologist. This is one of my goals in therapy, so I am seeking some help. Not just for this obviously, but it is directly related to many of my more serious issues. You really know what your talking about, so I appreciate your input on this. What a special person you must be to reach out to people like this. Not much more I can say, except, thanks and maybe one day I can help you?
Andrew - Again, your perception is greatly appreciated. I have a hard time being optimistic, but I know it is something I must try to do. At least practice at it. Thanks for your advice.
Raw - It is so funny that I am always the first one to tell people "don't judge yourself based on what our stupid society tells us is acceptable". All the while secretly knowing that is exactly what I do to myself everyday. I'm really tired of being a 'good little consumer', and buying into all this bullshit is exactly what it makes me. BTW, you are so freakin sweet, I could eat you with a spoon.
Ryan- I can't imagine you having low self esteem, so for you to put that out there means a lot to me. I also like that statement, couldn't be more fitting. Thank you...xxx
Viking - "Take it one day at a time and do not worry that you are inferior to anybody else. " - I will try to keep this in mind, becuase in truth and on that ladder Andrew talked about, we are all the same.
dirtyde - I like what Gandhi said, and I am trying to focus on what I do have. That is part of what makes me so sick about the whole thing. What is wrong with me that I DON'T focus on that ALL the time? But thanks.
Love-it - Wow, I wish I could be like your mother (see, there I go again, haha) seriously, how extraordinary that attitude is for a woman 85 years old. Most women that age, constantly complain and gripe and wish to die because they aren't what the used to be. What an inspiration she would be to someone like me, lots of women I'd venture to guess. I don't know about being wise, but I am at least open for help and guidance...so that's a good start, right? Thanks darlin' you always know just what to say, don't you?
