thank you all for your kind words
and I do indeed have a bad case of the shoulds. I'd never really thought of it that way before, all the things I should  be doing making me unhappy.
See I've learnt something already

I'm just a mess at the moment, but then I guess that's the criteria for turning up here.
 
see judging myself again.
 
I've come here to try and learn how to stop doing that.
 
It's good to be among people who are on the same path........................

Welcome Goldendawn

This is a great supportive place. Congrats on already tackling the homework. I see you apologised in your post, don't be so hard on yourself! The great thing about this site (as apposed to the world out there) is that no-one judges you and people actually understand what you are going through. If you want to feel less alone, you've come to the right place.

hi goldendawn - welcome, i can already tell you have a case of the "shoulds" - there's a cure for that! it helps to vent, and everyone around here is safe to vent to. tell us what's going on, it helps you to write it down, and maybe you can get some good advice. no reason to be afraid here - what are you afraid of?   for me it's spiders, especially spiders that get stuck in my hair, it's happened before, i thought i was gonna have a heart attack!

Greetings to you, Goldendawn, and welcome to this support group.
 
You'll find a very positive environment here, where the members help each other out, share difficulties and successes, or just vent in a safe, non-judgemental place where I, for one, have found strength in the knowledge that I am not alone.
 
Hope to see you posting soon., when and if you feel ready. No need to feel frightened, you're among friends here.

Hi
 
 
I am 47 years old, female, married, kids, house, job and other stuff that should make me happy but doesn't.
 
I know I should introduce myself to the group properly but am paralysed with fright.
 
But if I don't post something now, I probably never will, so for now this is it.
 
sorry
 
I will try to get though this first week's homework and hopefully reading back on myself will give me some perspective on why I'm here.  I'll keep you posted.
 
 
Love
 
Goldendawn xxxx
