 Let's call it: The me I'm going to be!I can see myself going through weeks on end, experiencing NO anxiety and NO depression. NEVER wanting not be here anymore, NEVER being afraid because I still am. NEVER being afraid of going crazy again. Welcoming stressful situations, not fearing a panic attack. Talking about ALL the painful issues, without wanting to run away. NOT NEEDING my pdoc desperately, NOT WANTING my pdoc to love and care for me EXCLUSIVELY ((deli))  Believing my pdoc is not a super human being. Being grateful for what he did for me, but not minding if he should disappear.What does the you you want to be look like? |

That is a great list, Susaan. Good for you! I found it curious, though, that you wanted to "welcome stressful situations." More power to ya!
The me I'm going to be: --I will have meaningful and connected relationships with more people in my life --I will have a house that is cleaned up, not cluttered, and not a disaster --I will be thinner --I will not be scared to live the life I want and not keep procrastinating to get it --I will have a different job/career that is better than my current one --I will never go against what I know to be right and act in a way that is inconsistent with who I am

I would be kind caring and connected to the world
I would be at peace with myself I would be able to look after my own needs as well as the needs of others and maybe even put mine first somtimes I would be happy...... and PTSd would just be a memory

WOW...it's hard for me to even imagine the me I want to be...I will have to think about that and get back to you
...Might take a while. This sounds like something my T would ask...I think she has asked and I couldnt come up with an answer

The me I want to be will:
- not hide my interests and thoughts from others - feel and trust without fear - not dwell on the things that I don't have - be able to tell people how I feel about them |

Hmmm. T and I talked at the very beginning of therapy about finding my "authentic self" and I asked "what if I don't LIKE her?"
But I guess if I got to pick: - accept myself just how I am. - not be haunted by things that happened to me in the past - be able to be in the present moment - let go of obsessive thoughts/behaviors/fears - ACCEPT LOVE and let myself feel it and believe in it |

i will be strong. again.
i will be happy with who i am...be it what ever i am. i will be at peace with my past...my past will always be a part of who i am...it has shaped be good and bad...but now i will not let it define me. i will be at peace with my parts..because after all they are me. i will work on my book. i will speak out against all forms of child and sexual abuse. i will speak out about mental illness. i will do my bit for world peace and compassion. i will continue working forward on improving me with t...it took 50 years to get to this point its going to take time to unravel it and put things back together in a new improved way. and i will continue to follow the advice of my pdoc and eat more veggies. |

Although, when I'm not well (which is often recently), these two definitely do not feature in the top 20! Although they definitely require some attention. We can have a "worst house" "worst figure" competition, I will win that hands-down! Is that a general symptom of mental issues?  Thanks for that
