just dropping in for a short reply. i came from a very, very dysfunctional family. i was personally questioning everything i was supposed to think and act. i was ingrained with a lot of false beliefs about life and about me. i was incredibly uncomfortable with all of it. in my case i went into therapy. i had no clue re who and what i'd believed in. i needed help to unsnarl myself to find the solutions.
succinctly put here's part of my solution. to live into today. continue to seek out self. to question with T if i was unsure. to toss out all the whatfores. to avoid what i felt was unhealthy for me.
most importantly to live in the now, the past is the past. if i repeat the same thing over and over i will always get the same results. i need to work on finding me and direct my path to a better life.
sorry i got a little wordy...
