I started seeing my therapist again. After a multi-month hiatus, Ms. Lori Andrews in back in my life..... and for a long time. Several months leading up to our wedding, I was seeing Lori once a week for my anxiety. Diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder, I have struggled (sometimes easy sometimes not) with the yuckies for a while. Typically affecting my sleep, anxiety has this strange way of lurking its gross head at the darndest times. Feeling better, I stopped going to Lori in November. Needless to say, its February and I'm back.
For those of you that don't know me (and as a refresher for those that do), I'm a sensitive person. I take things to heart; I love with everything I have and fail miserably at letting go of things I can't control. I did however, have a recent "break through:"
#1 There are people out there who are narcissists. Said people will always be the victim..... their life sucks no matter what. Poor me. Me, me, me. When said people continue to take YOUR olive branch and take a dump on it, its OK to not be friends with them. Narcissists think they are the center of the world. Case closed.
#2 There are people out there that are dependents. Said people need others to validate themselves, their feelings, their identity. I can't force dependents to grow a backbone and to stand up to narcissists.
Thankfully, I have awesome people in my life that round out my colorful world and make it like a magical rainbow.
