Some weeks are more difficult then others… this week however has been filled with important lessons which has made it a GREAT week!!!
I’ve learnt that people do love me…
I’ve learnt that loosing my shit at my children DOES NOT end in them washing the dishes any more efficiently…
I’ve learnt that turning 35 wasn’t so bad (my step son says I only look 20-25 years old- have I mentioned he is one of my favourites?)…
I’ve learnt that my friends are incredibly generous (well that isn’t exactly a new discovery but I experienced their generosity again this week)…
I learnt a few things about my mother… a few things are starting to make sense…
I learnt the amazing technique of TIPP in DBT on Wednesday night… we had to emerge our face into ice water for 20 seconds which cools down the brain (did you know your brain physically heats up when your in crisis mode)… I couldn’t believe the INSTANT relief I felt after doing it… I now keep a bowl of cold water in my fridge for when I need to ‘cool down’…
I’m worth being treated like a queen… I’m going to start treating myself like one… I deserve to do nice things for myself… I’m going to start eating better… I’m going to stop purging…
I’ve learnt that I don’t need a partner…
I’ve learnt that I do enrich peoples lives…
I’ve learnt that I’m not enough for some people and that’s ok… but I’m enough for those who love me…
BPD- A beautiful life.
