[Hellion]

So many things getting to me lately but I can't seem to actually get pissed off or confront people about things they do that bother me. I just don't know of an outlet that wont just cause drama and problems for everyone.

Hun, I know it's hard but you have to find a way to "invest in self" and "away" from the people that upset you.

I know that's hard Hellion, I struggle myself. One day I was "so disgusted" and "depressed" and told my T, how I just can't believe how "bad and selfish and dumb" people can be, and he said, yes, there are a lot of "crappy" people in the world sadly.
I just felt "relief" that someone else said it tbh.

But the truth is, we cannot change other people or how there "are" some crappy people out there. We can only "help" and "grow" ourselves Hellion. And sometimes that "is" a challenge, especially when around "people" that are "disfuncitonal" family members. It can get pretty "depressing", I hear you, me too. But you know what?, you can't allow "others" to "dictate your life" and believe me, they often try to do just that. And you also have to be careful about "sending yourself bad messages" too.
I have to make it a point to remember that myself.

I always told my students that they were not allowed to say, I can't. They always had to say, ok, I will try. And if they didn't "get something" right away, they still had to say, I will keep trying. And Hellion, they "all" learned that at "some point" they eventually "could". And they were "all" different in the length of time they "finally" achieved things Hellion.
