Things seem to be looking up for me!!!!πŸ™‚

β€’27 Replies

First of all, I've been scrolling through some posts on here, and my heart truly goes out to all of you on here who are going through so much. Sometimes I don't reply because I just don't know what to say, however I really DO care. So what's my good news? I FINALLY have just been hired at a part time job!!!! I have been out of work for YEARS folks, and I was really getting very down on myself that maybe no one would hire me for anything, but starting next week I am working 3 days a week at a store that isn't very far away that I can walk to. I swear I am giving this my best shot, I will try my hardest to keep this and not get let go because I'm too slow or for any reason. I'm so thankful just for this opportunity. Please pray for me. And in another department, for a very long time I have been frustrated and very unhappy with a community mental health program I've been in. I am going in a different direction and starting to see a private psychiatrist next week. Now this is costing A LOT of money, I am paying for the initial 2 hour assessment, what's great though is that my mom has said she is willing to help pay for some of the monthly appointments. She wants me to have a better quality of life. We've heard some good things about this doctor and I really hope we get along well. I have come to accept that it's best for me to stay at my parents even though it isn't easy for me to be around my father. I was going back and forth between my parents house and staying with my ex- that - I'm- friends with thing, but I swear I'm no longer doing that. Both my ex and I need to move on and move forward. It's over. And last but certainly not least, there's a couple of people on here that I've gotten to know that I've had a falling out with, and I don't know what to say or do to try to repair the relationship. I wis

Things are looking up for me too. I just have to be more patient and accept things don't happen over night

in reply to Dragon3695

I hear you. I have to accept that I have to at least try to get along somewhat with my narcisstic dad for some time because I really have no other option. That doesn't mean I'm going to let him manipulate me, but I'm trying to be nicer to him and I don't stay around his negative energy for very long. He is 80 years old now, he isn't in good health and he smokes, he might not be around much longer.

True. For me, when things start getting to me I do puzzles or mandalas. It helps refocus to calmer things.

Hey, I actually buy some of these coloring books for adults and color with colored pencils. It's calming even though sometimes I feel like I'm 5 years old again!!!πŸ™‚

in reply to Hb2003

Thank you sweetheart!!! I start the job this Thursday, I'm hoping I can handle it and I won't be told after a couple weeks that I'm not fast enough. That unfortunately has happened to me before.

I am doing wonderful πŸ˜„

in reply to Hb2003

Well that's great to hear!!! I'm doing somewhat better myself too. It helps for me to not be around my parents constantly, I'm just hanging out by myself at a coffee shop right now with my smartphone and a notebook and some books. I am trying to force myself to read an actual book, I get too distracted with this phone!!!! I need to go now, have a great day!!!

Hello,I am so pleased for you that at long last you have a job ,and that its not too far away;I like how you began your post considering others and Im sure those people you fell out with will surely understand and forgive!Im always happy to hear that you have been trying hard to move forward with your life ,and its certainly not easy living in an environment that your not comfortable in----and of course the support ,lets hope this psychiatrist can also be an asset,well supportive,as I feel the prices are too extortionate--so all the best for a new start ,you deserve it and keep reminding yourself of how much you do deserve and need this fresh break!!πŸ˜‡πŸ₯°

in reply to goldieoldie

Thank you so much. This doctor had better be worth it. I was trying to save up some money so I can get another car, but I made an ultimate decision that this is what I really need right now. I have not been happy with the doctor I've been seeing for a very long time.
