Do you ever just wanna hug someone so tightly to the point where you have absolutely no intentions of ever letting go because you want them to know just how much they mean to you and how much you love them and you just wanna take away all the bad things in their life and replace them with only good things?

this.

I just found a book: “Overcoming Borderline Personality Disorder” by Valerie Porr.

It is a candle to my darkness.

I hope that whatever you are facing right now that you may reach out to your libraries, bookstores, and online for books and blogs.

The feeling of reading your life written by someone is like having a knowing hand reach in and hold your heart for a while.

The Opposite of Hiding: positive regard

positive regard….ever present but under wraps right now.

Learning more and more about the ways in which it is really difficult to take a therapist role with family and friends.

It all has to do with the fact that as a friend or a family member you act from places that a therapist (hopefully if…

Unfortunately, it is often easier to ignore, dismiss, reject, and even hurt one another rather than engage in constructive confrontation.
yes. always yes.

I had an epiphany last night. This Dr. told me once that if I was stuck around mean people to just declare in my head that they do not exist. So I have been using this a lot and it works so well. For so many things. Then my head was getting caught on some bittersweet memories, like my ex, and I realized that all my memories and all my current ideas about it (and everything) were illusions. I accept that the process of falling in love with her (or anybody else) was entire illusion. Illusions. Do not exist outside of my head. Then I guess these ideas are illusions too and it is just a matter of choosing the ones that feel best in alignment with love, higher power, my soul..er work in progress. Maybe I will get some more sleep tonight. Maybe.

You are not weak just because your heart feels so heavy. I have never met a heavy heart that wasn’t a phone booth with a red cape inside. Some people will never understand the kind of superpower it takes for some people to just walk outside.
You either lose your fear
Or spend your life with one foot in the grave
Know that people are doing the best they can from their level of awareness. Accept people for who they are and always be ready to forgive.
