we all are divided within ourselves, vwoolf.
And we all have learned to "manage" (in our own ways) the way we "exist" with the devil we already know. And we are afraid that if we change the way we do things, that we may have to deal with a devil we DON'T know.
I 'managed' the changes because I took advantage of the fact that I was in the care of a pdoc and T and realized that they would help me with any new devils that cropped up along the way.
I certainly didn't do it all by myself. I really had to make sure that my supports were in place before I took steps to change. I was scared sh*tless.
By no means at all did I mean to sound that it was easy. Gosh, I'm so sorry...
I guess I wanted to sound very positive for you- to give you a small bit of hope without adding the "scary sounding bits".
I humbly apologize if I worded things to make you feel put down in any way. There is NOTHING dumb about you...maybe a bit stubborn, but aren't we all??? That's just the parts of us that are resistant to change talking, anyway... At least for me!
It is very scary, but if you want to take very tiny steps at a time, we will be another support here at babble for you. (okay- this last paragraph?! Probably what I should have said without all the other posts and words....)
