Being Strong For Yourself

Maybe I'm feeling pretty good for today. It doesn't really have anything to do with me internally.

[1]

I am happier & more positive today--in particular--because my father has finally acknowledged something I've been saying for a long time now. Before he would always deny the reality of the circumstances, & state I was being unfair with what I said, but tax time has caused him to see it clearly.

One of the hardest things to endure (I feel) is to be near a loved one/people, who will not face a situation that is causing harm to everyone, the fact that their actions are not helping to put an end to that harm.

My father & I have had it out many, many a time now. I am glad that I persisted with expressing my feelings, thoughts, opinions, & ideas; that is the part of myself I am glad I managed to be strong for to this point.

Also, I managed to operate from a position of strength when dealing with the current set of people in my life & those who want to be in my life more.

I'm just so glad I don't have to be a victim anymore!! I don't think I was completely one, but I was going through various degrees of feeling like one. A bright idea finally came to me to beat some of what has been bothering me for a while. It is good to turn the tables on these beasts for once!

A day or so ago, my resolve increased, since I'd finally come up with a plan on how to go about handling/seeking answers to my being ill. I don't know when I might be able to execute it, but having a clue makes me rest a little bit easier at night.

My point: Do your best & perhaps you will get there also! Let us work hard to solve our own problems & let us continue to be strong for ourselves..... I'm hoping I continue to pull myself together for the better....

Thank you! Don't worry.... I amaze myself too! [When I feel I have no more strength left, I get a nice surprise every now & then. Rest helps sometimes.)

Just trying to dig myself out of the hole..... It still took lots of time & thinking about everything....

I just hope everything will work out at some point.... If I live a long natural life, then I would like to diminish how much I suffer, as long as I am able....

Your determination shines through. Don't see that so often and it is really nice to realize it is there. Way to go!

I would just like to state something or perhaps restate it:

If we all can, please let's try not to feed any negativity that may present itself before us.

(I guess this would be revisiting negative self-talk.)


It's really been helping me to not entertain in any serious manner the not-so-great stuff.


Honesty has also been a great coping mechanism for me. I think a lot of us do it on here already. We say what we feel. I just try not to let whatever bad stuff lingers. Ah, but sometimes, it really does get the better of me--but I try for it not to be too long.

It's like shouting in the wind. The wind carries it all away and I can try for a different moment.
