Why do i bother to try. Why try. People around me are gnawing at my nerve ends. It used to only be my family but now it's at work as well. Makes me wonder whether the problem is me and not them. I don't want to continue. No use. I just want to curl up and disapear. Why can't i get it straight, how to not be here any longer. I hate that i can't find a cause to all this. Another day another rant.

If the problem is me and not them, that is a good thing because I can do something about 'me' but I can't do a thing about 'them'. I call this getting in the solution rather than staying stuck in the problem.

I can:

Acknowledge I am not where I want to be.
Ask for help.
Call a friend I trust and talk it out.
Be open to suggestions.
Read something inspiring.
Do something helpful for someone else.
Smile.
Laugh.
Forgive.
Listen to music I like.
Do my best; accept good enough.
Get some rest.
Play.
Give myself the love and respect I so want from others ... heck, give it to others, too.
Etc, etc.

Know that this, too, shall pass. It always does.
