I am writing this to remind myself why I like myself...

[kartusch]

What with all of the Steve crap and not being in my bellydancing classes, all my old self esteem issues have came crashing down on me.  Along with that the fears for being a almost 30 yr old mom w/ 3 kids that does not want to be alone for life due to Steve wasting my young years.  Its all like a crushing tide of I do not stand up to the standards

I like the idea of the post. I was thinking of doing something similar, myself.

I hope it helps to keep your spirits up in darker moments. :)

This is a beautiful post written by a beautiful person. I think you should save it to your memories so you can look back on it over and over.

Happy Holidays.

I made lists like that when I first started treatment for anxiety/depression and I found it helped a lot. I also kept a list of every good thing that happened to me, even if it was something as minor as petting a cat on the way home or finding a quarter on the sidewalk. It made me realize that my life wasn't as bad as I thought it was.
