Wow Rori! I’m slowly reading through your blog (if you can’t tell from the haphazard comments) and can I just say I just clicked. I have a similar problem and it’s slowly destroying my marriage. I’m hiding behind my anti-depressants. Im the problem and I can change. Thanks Rori!

Thanks, viemoira. I really want to be a better person, and I do worry that maybe I’m expecting too much. Only time will tell, I guess.

Best wishes! Sounds like you made a good start by getting things all out on the table. Remember that you said you shouldn’t expect others to change to someone they’re not so be kind to yourself in the same way. Pride is often our own worst enemy.

Thanks, Juliette. I just means so much to me right now to have the support of people here, even if you all don’t know me in real life. And thanks for the tip about clicking with counselors. This is completely new territory for me…and really scary.

Thank you so much for your kind words, David. This is really not something that is easy for me, but I need to do it. I need to make positive changes in myself instead of blaming other people to things that have happened in my life.

It was really brave of you to share this, and brave of you to take the step to call a counselor. I wish you the best as you go forward. (And if you don’t click with the first counselor, don’t feel bad about looking for someone else. That happens sometimes, and it’s just a matter of being a good fit for each other.)

rori, good for you, no matter how it turns out, and what you learn, you are to be complimented for having the willingness to look yourself in the face, and recognize you might be better and not being afraid to face it.
Time spent in self examination is always well invested. Be well.
