[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 269078, member: 1436"] I know when I was at my very lowest, I had to find little things that were right. It could be that the sun was shining. Or that I had the money to go get my hair cut. Or that I had gone a whole minute without worrying about what one of the people in my life was going to do next to disappoint or hurt me. Then I got to where I could go for an hour. Then 2. I quit obsessing. I repeated the serenity prayer over and over. I wrote it on post-its and put them everywhere. I began to look for things outside of my "house" to make life bearable. I taught homebound, I coached, I went out with friends, I joined clubs, I went to church. I realized it was up to me to make myself happy. And I am happy. The people in my life still do things that upset me. But they have to face the consequences. I don't clean up other people's messes anymore. I'm too busy living. [/QUOTE]
