[QUOTE="Star*, post: 308138, member: 4964"] MWM - First off - you are so welcome:blushing: -I am glad you're feeling a little better. That's what the beauty of this board is about. Support. Whether it's a helping or kind word or a smack on the kiester with a feather - :raspberry-tounge:. Also - LOOK how many people stopped right in the middle of what they were doing to tell you how much you are cared about. Just look. Even if it were only one person - that's more than a lot of people in the world have, and EveryWoman is right - and I love what she said - Live by the Golden Rule. I thought about this a lot last night - I mean a lot. I thought about you and one thing kept really bothering me about something you said. You said something like you wondered if people here (on the board) even liked you at all. Honey -why is this place a measure for you or anyone else? No need to answer because I get what you meant - but I want to explain something to you and hopefully it will help you or anyone else that is lurking/reading/thinking they maybe don't fit in right. I never fit. I'm a square peg in a round society all my life. I never fit most places all my life. Try as I may - I just never did. When I got married I was so happy. I figured - OH yeah - hey here's a place where I will be accepted - because I am family. Nope. If I was a square peg in a round society everywhere else - in that family - I think I must have been a hexagon peg in an amoeba shaped, hole. No fit again. I couldn't have been a bigger outcast. Twenty-three years of being an outsider didn't quite prepare me for the next thirteen years of being a lonely little petunia in an onion patch. It seemed like - no matter where I went - I didn't fit. How could someone be so outside every group, every crowd....? Then I started therapy. Found out I really didn't like MYSELF.

WHY DON"T YOU LIKE ME - that you forget WHO you are.....and stop liking yourself. :frowny: So.....today -----since you are NOT going to go to the psychiatric hospital - your choice.....and since you are struggling with liking yourself. (yeah yeah whatever - pft -) YOUR ASSIGNMENT FOR TODAY - should you choose to accept it 0014 (OMG IS THAT NOT THE FUNNIEST - I'm 0014 because I'm twice as smart and twice as good looking as 007) - Is to make a list - of ALL THE GOOD THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF....... AT LEAST 50 THEN - I want you to tell us - 10 things - that you do good. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
