Are you learning coping skills from your friends?  Have you gone back to FLYLADY?

you can do as little or as much as you want with her.  I have trouble trying not to stretch my limits.  i push too hard and then I get sick.  I need some skills too to help me do better.

i learned frm past and present experience that no matter how much advice is given whether frm friends or books i read, that if i do nt implement it in my daily life, i will always end with the same issues. if just decided that its all about ME. sometimes we r just hard on ourselfs and go unnecessarily on a 'guilty trip'just bcause we could nt finish a task. ive started by teaching my daughter how to make simple dishes and implemented flylady where her room is concern. it helps. she made me lovely muffins on saturday! she was proud and i felt good!

I am glad that you and your daughter are both having fun with Flylady.  That is a good point about the advice, you can have tons and if you don't use it, it's useless.  Wow!!!  I am not letting the guilty trips get in my way as much anymore.

I'm glad you slept well.  I'm doing a bit better at sleep but I still have a lot of issues to deal with.  i get a small benefit package which is a huge relief.  I need to work on frying the bigger fish, but I have the time to do it, now and a few rescources.  Glad to hear good news from you!

My main issue is facing reality.  I have a lot of bills and I have had my head buried in the sand for so long that I don't know what I owe!  Or to whom, but I have been working for 4 years and did not pay a single old bill.  I finally opened a bank account so that I didn't have wads of cash on me all the time.  I don't keep track of how much I have made or where I have spent it.  I have been abused and haven't really had time to deal with the effects of that.  I took a job too early in my therapy before I should have.  I wasn't ready, apparently to throw myself out into the world, still too sick.  I need to do the work to get better this time around, and go out into the world with a clear vision and plan and taking the steps that will get me on the right track, and the knowledge and confidence to keep me on the right track.  I can't rush this, though.

talking about it is the begining of healing! its a process. dont b hard on urself. nomatter in which way u been abuse, i understand! it does have an effect on our lives. i was sexually abused as a child and have stupid choices due to unstability. i was unstable as a youngster and adult until i learned 2 deal with wat happened 2 me. i no longer wanted the past 2 control the future! got married and went through even more but this time i decided 2 deal with issues immediately! have u got someone who can sit down and help u work out ur finance. i had a friend who taught me such alot about finance. writing down whatever ur dealing with is good therapy! u r going to get there just dont quit! praying 4 u!

I had therapy today and I spoke about the things I needed to deal with, well a few of them.  It helped and I feel so optimististic.  Thanks for your prayers for me.  How are you doing?  I am sorry you were abused as a child.  Good for you for dealing with it.
