Yeah, I understand that. It’s a journey you go on, you can’t simply decide one day that you’re going to stop. But try and check yourself each time you’re feeling down about stuff going on in your life - ask youself, ‘By who’s values and opinions am I judging myself? My own or someone else’s?’
I have the number still of one of the best people I’ve ever encountered- a therapist I used to see. Sometimes I think if I spent my last few hundred on that guy, it might be better than paying those last few bills before I hit zero. But right now I’m avoiding it. If I can just get a job and stay in the black (is that the right term?) then maybe I’ll spend my rainy day money on him!
I had a heart-to-heart w/ my roommate (aka landlord)- she’s going to let me pay half rent this month and no rent next month. I didn’t ask, she offered. Why is it so hard to ask? I can’t ever make those words come out of my mouth. This is good, though.
