    • Well Done

      From SlipperySlope Yesterday

      MY DAD NOW IS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF ME ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM HAVING AN EPISODE. HE GETS IT!! MY MUM IS SUPER. AND THE SAYING IS THAT NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL GUILTY OR ANYTHING ELSE ONLY YOU CAN DO THAT. WE MUST BE STRONG AND ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE WHAT WE WANT TO BE NOT WHAT OTHERS MAY WANT. BE STRONG.

    • Superhero Status

      From SlipperySlope Yesterday

      WE CAN BE EACH OTHERS SUPER HERO TO THE RESCUE WHEN WE GET DOWN ON OURSELVES. MY PERFECTIONISM STEMS FROM HAVING A FATHER THAT WAS VERY, NO MAKE THAT EXTREMELY DEMANDING. NOTHING WAS EVER GOOD ENOUGH. IF I MADE A 99 ON A TEST, IT WAS WHY DID YOU NOT MAKE 100. HE WAS A NEAT FREAK AND I BECAME ONE AS WELL. HE WAS OBSESSIVE ABOUT EVERYTHING HE DID AND I AM MY FATHER'S DAUGHTER. HE IS AND WAS ALSO BI POLAR. GEE, THANKS FOR THAT GENETIC TRAIT, DAD!! OVER THE YEARS HE HAS MELLOWED INTO A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON BECAUSE HE HAD NO CHOICE IF HE WANTED TO LIVE A QUALITY LIFE. SO I MUST BATTLE THE SAME DEMONS FOR MY OWN SANITY. DEBBIE

    • I’m With You

      From SlipperySlope Yesterday

      LOGICALLY I KNOW THAT I AM THE ONLY ONE SETTING UP THESE RIDICULOUS EXPECTATIONS. I HAVE SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME WITH MY THERAPIST ON THE "WHAT IFFS..?" I AM ALWAYS DOING THE NEGATIVE WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS, WHAT IF THAT HAPPENS. SHE MAKES ME COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS TO THE WHAT IFFS. I CAN DO IT WELL WHEN I AM WITH HER BUT I NEED TO CARRY IT OVER INTO MY EVERYDAY LIFE OR WHAT IS THE POINT. I KNOW THAT FOR MY MENTAL WELL BEING I REALLY NEED TO DO THIS. I PROMISE I AM GOING TO TRY VERY HARD TO STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I DON'T DO SUCH AND SUCH. I NEED TO LET GO. I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW I MAKE OUT. DEBBIE

    • High Five

      From SlipperySlope Yesterday

      SUE, YOU ARE SO RIGHT, I AM MY OWN WORST ENEMY. I HAVE ALWAYS SET THE BAR HIGH. IT'S FUNNY, NO ONE ELSE EXPECTS THIS OR THAT FROM ME, IT'S JUST ME. IF I DON'T DO ALL THE USUAL STUFF SOME HOW IN MY MIND I HAVE FAILED. NOW THAT IS JUST PLAIN SILLY I KNOW BUT THAT IS HOW MY MIND WORKS. I AM TRYING HARD TO CHANGE THAT BUT IT IS HARD TO BREAK A LIFE TIME OF HABITS. THANKS FOR THE ADVICE. DEBBIE
