Bearing a Grudge.

Do Beepers bear grudges longer and harder than Saners? I personally don't. If I do get angry I ususally manage to turn it around very quickly, then I feel guilty and want to make up and have peace.
I've noticed others hang onto their grievances though.
Is it a BP trait? Or are you a very forgiving person?

But to me
Forgiveness is Gods job.....
I guess I'm a hanger oner.
Not healthy....I know

I think it might be a personality thing. I don't really bear grudges because I don't really see the point. But I don't think it matters if a person is BP or not.

I believe in turning the other cheek.....on the other hand it took me many years to acquire such a belief...I am not yet able to forgive myself for my many transgretions

Oh yes, forgiving yourself. That's a really hard one. I find it easier to forgive others then to forgive myself.

Serial forgivers go hand in hand with backstabbing tendencies.

Forgive never forget, serial forgivers have short memories.

But if you don't forget you are carrying the past around with you, things that hurt you. Sometimes it's better to let go and get on with life.
Just my humble opinion.

Get some bollocks and try it.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
