Hmmm

I joined 7 cups

I am not as emotional

I reach out to my daughter in ND

I helped my parents come to a decision about moving near me.

I don't let my husband blame me for every wrong decision he makes

I make my own money, not much but a start.

Changes to be better

Not going to let myself or kids be emotional abused

Going to make plans to make new life for me and kids

Making a break from this unhealthy life without looking back!

Wow this is going to be hard, but I deserve respect and this stressful life I have lived for 13 yrs is not helping my chronic pain and mental health!

Things I did well:
I managed to become friends with a few of the boys in my form class, and they don't care that I'm quiet!
I've managed to survive, and I'm still living now!
I've completed 3 speaking exams in French and Irish.
I completed my first set of GCSE modules.
I kept most of my grades up at school, and plan to work harder in that one subject . . .
I managed to go out with friends for the first time at the weekend!
I laughed way more than I did in previous years thanks to those around me.
I opened up a tiny bit about my feelings to my friend.
I brought myself to tell a teacher that another teacher was picking on me and making fun of me.
I've managed to get most (if not all) of my teachers to like me a lot <3

Things I could do better:

I want to try and stop self harming.
I want to take better care of myself; physically and mentally.
I want to try and like myself more. and be self confident.

@Celaeno, awwww, you're so lovely to tell me that. I appreciate it. I guess you don't realize how much of an inspiration you are to me, though. And you truly are an inspiration. Isn't that one of the loveliest things about 7 Cups? Everyone can inspire and be inspired. It's more helpful than words can express. Love you!

I've started to speak up more and I've started trusting someone with my hidden things that I don't tell people and they haven't left, even when without realising it I was tring to push them away because I was scared. It feels so strange to feel this level of trust I actually don't know what to do with it..

I have to say that's a great awareness, and the first great step toward healing and a better life. It is so important for us all to take a rest and be aware of our mental condition. Thx for sharing this great point! Hope you find energy and a better path of life in 2017!
