That I didn't deserve it.
I can deal with problems better when I am less stressed
What I've learned so far is that I have without a doubt an anxiety problem. I think I was avoiding facing the truth that I needed help. I thought i could sort it out on my own.

What an amazing thing to realize!! That is one great step of colossal importance! Yes, you!! You are doing so very well! Just yes!
@GlenM How to move on
dreams and goals are great, but nothing if I do not do the steps I need to in order to attain them.
That healing is a choice - and i can chose to stay stuck in misery - or chose to do the hard work and heal.
@blissedNblessed So true. =D
I am not alone even though my ED says i am
@Sammie1997 we're all here for you and proud! Keep up the positivity!
@Sammie1997 For people who may not know that acronym (I didn't until several years ago), it stands for "Eating Disorder"
I have learned to pause before sending out an email, text or snail mail letter in anger. I used to always have a knee-jerk reaction to perceived wrongs done to me, and I've learned the hard way (too many "burnt bridges") to sit on my response before sending it. I will still often *draft* my response is immediately, but I will wait a day or two first. Then, after I have. Sled down, I will re-read what I wrote (and/or have my partner read it), and usually see some things that show they were written in anger. Only after I've rewritten the document with a clear head will I press "send." Now I have no regrets - at least about the email or text replies or mail that I send!
@Willendorf2017 Good job! That is indeed a good skill to have and that I'm working on too! Sometimes we can say some mean things when bad emotions cloud our judgment, but just a few moments to recompose ourselves and we communicate so much better!
It was great being her talking to others that shares the same feelings and support us, It's really comfortable to know that we aren't alone in this world and there is a lot of great and kind people round the world supporting us.
