I have also stood up for myself more, too. More specifically within my job. I've persued other positions (and with gusto!), told my boss when I was upset about a decision, and generally didn't let myself be a pushover. It has been HARD, but T is always so proud
I have learned to really think about how I feel. It is a slow struggle, but I am more aware of my emotions than I had been.
I really really want to put trust on there, but I can't. Not yet.
