I'm not buying into the warped idea of self sabotaging. Sure, SOME people might, but most who think they do, don't actually self sabotage. It is a word to place more guilt on people.

Like I was supposed to get up early and do an errand today. I overslept because I had been short on sleep the night before and also I'm sick. Did i sabotage my attempt to help myself? Because this thing needs to be done. I don't see it that way. I just asked of myself what I couldn't do. Yet at least, tomorrow seems like a good day for it.

Financial issues are quite real to me. I live under constant pressure that my case could be revised and I could lose my benefits. Food is getting more and more expensive. I really don't eat as well as I did just five years ago. I try to do creative things and work out plans for if bad things happen, like rent out half of my apartment and growing more food. Doesn't mean the threat is not real. The person writing that has not wondered where the next meal will come from or had to locate the city's non claimed apple trees just to get some hard and sour apples at least.

From the logic of the 3rd item, I will stop having anemia if I stop panting from it when I walk up the stairs. Good job!

Not being anxious and on edge can simply be cured by not being anxious! Wow. Had never crossed my mind. And I hope some disaster does happen to them, I have survival training.... do they?

I had good parents so I'm not blaming them for anything. But a friend of mine had parents who were psychopaths. They abused her and neglected her while her brother got everything. If she got xmas money from a granny, they took it. They made it clear to her every day that she was horrible and her brother was how a kid should be. Yeap, she should just forget all about it. Actually she did, she only have vague memories from her childhood. So, why is she unhappy? She DID forget.

I AM critical. It makes me stay real. I'm critical to the crap list.

Now lets make the same list about cancer or loss of a close one and laugh about it!
