I am feeling pretty ok right now. It's probably the most contented I've felt for 4-5 weeks.
I just feel that, although I have issues, and although I may be messed up in a lot of ways, it doesn't matter. Browsing these forums helps a lot. It makes me see that there are so many of us out there, each with our own problems, our own issues, our own pain, our own damaging behaviours.
I think the best thing I can do is accept myself completely as I am. All the darkness as well as the light. And I feel like I have been able to do that today.
I also feel a lot better about the boyfriend situation. And I've been able to sustain that feeling for the whole day, hurrah!
I don't know why. I think it's because I have distanced myself from him a bit. I feel I've regained a bit of control, for the moment.
I'm just hoping I can keep this feeling. I have work tomorrow. Only a 4 hour shift. I've been finding myself very easily set off by small things there recently. I have found certain people to be difficult to tolerate. I can do it though. Soon I will be working somewhere else.
