I cried infront of my therapist today.
It was soooo embarassing. I hate crying infront of people.
We were talking about how far away I am from my mum and my dad leaving when i was little and for some reason I jsut started crying.
It seems I have abandonment issues that have been reinforced over the years by people turning their backs on me and now I expect it from people and constantly punish myself for things that aren't my fault.
Well, atleast now I know.

maybe you could cut yourself and your parents some slack. Your dad left, he screwed up, you left your home area, maybe you screwed up, maybe not. Point is don't we all screw up and it's real hard to make that up to people. Maybe just forgive the past and use the power you have for the now and the future

i was always told not to cry when i was a kid, mostly by my big brother after one of his fiendish plots to exterminate me (lol), and then my first husband would beat me just to see if he could make me cry. i refused, because that would be like letting him win. thought i had lost my ability to cry. now i cry whenever i get a chance, because it lets those pent up emotions out. so go on...cry, it's good for you

Yeah I know there's nothing wrong with crying and it's better to cry than self harm.
I used to do this thing where I'd watch a great movie I loved that had bits in that made me cry.
Maybe I should do that. Thing is my fellas here and I never feel like I can really let myself go and cry without being entirely alone.

I know, crying in front of someone can be embarrassing, but if you're going to cry in front of anyone, why not in front of your therapist, who's trying to help you? I've had four sessions so far and I've cried during all four of them. Embarrassing, but it truly is cathartic. You're not alone. :)

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
