I spent time with my mother this weekend for mother's day. I love her dearly and I spent a lot of time choosing and creating a nice gift for her. Everything went ok but I feel like she trys to put jabs at me whenever she can. I am in my mid 20's and she says things like oh when you get a place of your own. Now I have my own apartment but I have roommates. So I don't see the problem.
I just feel like she is always judging my life but I am happy with my life right now. She makes me question my success. Maybe I am just being overly sensitive.... But when I hear her make comments about my job, my love life or whatever it makes me feel like a failure. I don't know why I care so much what she says but I want her to understand things are not as easy now as they were when she was growing up. Its harder to get good jobs, people don't get out of school and jump into marriage like they used to.... Anyone else have trouble with their mothers or acceptance with others?
Thats amazing Wildcat! I am so happy for you. Think of how much joy you will get from your own business. You can be so creative, have so many projects!!! So exciting! You will have to keep us updated on all the details!!
I had a work issue a while ago. Its funny without thinking about it I tried all the techniques Ashley mentioned. I felt talking to others helped me the most. I found it very hard to re frame. The work situation actually took a big toll on me. I think its very important to be happy at work. So in the end I left the situation. Even though I feel this choice was right for me I probably would have been much happier if I could find a way to resolve the situation. So I hope you search and find a solution. Things obviously cannot stay like this. It will be too hard on your health.
I am sorry to hear about everything else also. I would like to discuss some of the other issues also. I know what it is like to deal with anger in a relationship. Keep posting so we can discuss more.
Welcome to the family. Here you will be able to meet a lot of friends and get support. I liked to here your story and I would like to hear more from you.
We all understand you here. How are you doing today?
I'm sorry I am very late to welcome you. I have been very busy this summer. It is hard for me to find the time to come on the internet.
Please do not think that no one will care. I can speak for myself, I really do care and would love to hear more from you.
I can totally relate when it comes to starting with a new therapist. It can be very nerve racking. I have a little bit of social anxiety as well so it is hard for me to open up to someone. I always feel like I am being judged. It is very nice to come on here though. Everyone is very welcoming and non judgmental.
Waking up is hard to do Dunner. I HATE mornings. I wish I could sleep all day. It's funny though...the days I do sleep all day I feel good but if I do it too much I start feeling more depressed. I really think the more I laze around the more depressed I get. Waking up is really hard for me but after the first hour if I am busy I kind of forget about it.
I really have to push myself though......Some days are better then others.....
I think complaining is good. I always feel better after I talk but I am often pushed to talk about it. I don't like rehashing though. I know my ex would always rehash old arguments...sometimes it is best to let things go...but i think in your case you just need to talk it out....
Anylizing doesn't help me at all. I simply try to enjoy the little things and distract myself. MAybe that is the wrong approach but I think it does help. I often think too much and your right it can get confusing.
