kali420 Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Today I try and start over. I've been drinking a lot lately. Obviously not helping me cope with my situation. I decided not to drink tonight, and instead go to the gym after work. I tried an advice I got...When I woke up this morning, I said to myself, "I will be happy with myself today"...Kind of corny...but seems to be working so far. I've been trying to figure out who I am lately. What makes me tic. Take care of myself more...love myself. I haven't been doing any of those lately. I realised I was letting someone else's actions affect me. While nothing was done TO ME...I took it personal and it changed my view of myself and my life. I'm trying to be more of the person I was before any of these experiences I have had. I was always pretty chill. I never got angry so much. I defenitely had an idea who I was, and I was happy at one point. I want to get back to that...
doiask42much Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Heh, I just went to the gym. My bf was suggesting that I drink some wine to relax because I was all raggy and bitchy but working out helped my mood and I'm glad I didn't drink. I think I have some issues with alcohol and especially anger and self-esteem (taking things personally) as well, so I feel where you are coming from. I'm not sure what advice you are looking for, if any, but I wanted you to know someone out here understands how you feel.

Keep doing the right things. You will have good days and bad ones - your goal is to have more of the good days and less of the bad. You're not alone in your battle. A lot of people on here are like you, and most of us still have bad days that leave us hurting and sad. It's the knowledge that this is not permanent, that keeps our hopes alive for better times.
morephine Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I can relate to this and I'm right there with you. I used to be a completely different person before my marriage and was never quick to anger. This past nearly year now has been an uphill battle but it's getting a little easier. Today wasn't a good day at all but I know that it will be a little better tomorrow. Keep up the good work and try to keep picturing yourself happy on your own. The more you visualize it the more it will begin to take place. You'll still have your days as I do, but in the end things will work out for the best for you.
