Walking Without Crutches

Jul 10, 2009 00:31



I have been thinking about what I want to say on this post for quite a while. In fact, I could not post anything yesterday because my mind was at such a blank. But today I want to talk about a couple things.

Lately I have been so freaking angry. I have this step mother who is so sick with depression. She mopes around the house and does nothing all ( Read more... )

argh nagging mothers.
a huge part of any teenagers life
hahaha
i kind of feel you on the relying on others to make you feel happy.
for me, i wouldn't phrase it, "taking care of me"
but I'm a social person to the point of discomfort.
If I'm alone, I'm a mess.
like a lion in a cage.
so i rely on friends to be around constantly.
and hen a boyfriend can't fill that role,
then they get the boot.
because i love being around others.

but it seems like you know how you are
and what you expect from people
and you know it's not a healthy way of being
and you want to change it.
which i really admire in a person.
when something's wrong.
fix it.

it's been less than a week since closet case.
i think you're sounding pretty good.
i dunno about you
but i kinda use my livejournal and therapy
and it kinda helps!

you'll get through this
back on the market
and seeing someone in no time.

I am the same way, with using people as a crutch. It's not easy to change, I've been trying for years, but hopefully you'll find a way to do it. I think some people are just born to be more dependent than others, which is ok, and shouldn't be viewed as a personality flaw, as long as it doesn't get too out of control. You sound like you have a mature hold on the situation.

I also just posted a mom-complaining entry. At least they give us something to talk about.
