Good morning! (It is morning here).

I slept well, but woke up sad with catastrophe thinking and feelings. The last "thing" I did before bed time yesterday, was signing myself up for a study. I need purpose in my life. (All these "things" with my mother are past and the last I need now are old topics popping up again).

Grown up "children" of parents are to live their own lives and are not to carry their parents burdens. One can be friends of course (mutual respect) and there are times when one has to be more close than usual; as an example when they are sick. (In my family we have regular contact, not too often or not too seldom. We are all different in beliefs and interests, but we have learned to adapt to rules of not going too deep in conversations that can trigger our differnces. We are lucky in that way).

I read about CBT while I ate my breakfast, and I feel better now. I will use a journal to write about my goals and how to prioritize them and I will think about how to give myself a better self image.

May you all have a so good day as possible!
