"The art of being yourself at your best is the art of unfolding your personality into the person you want to be. . . . Be gentle with yourself, learn to love yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward ourselves can we have the right attitude toward others."~ Wilfred Peterson

yesterday...was not the best day
to say i was spacy today would be putting things very very nicely...i
had a hard time this morning figuring out what it is that i needed to
do..instead of going to work early..i watched a movie and thought about
doing my laundry...i finally did get up and force myself into the
shower..but seriously i was like a lost kid this morning..i went back
and forth and back and forth and kept forgetting what it is i wanted to
do or needed to do or anything..and then i started to get frustrated
because i knew there were plenty of things i should have been doing..and
instead all i did was watch tv..blah..but oh well i got out.and saw two
clients..and for some reason have been super tired today..like really
wanting to just lay down and sleep...i had a headache again
today..during the middle of the day for a while..i had a headache
yesterday too..im trying to remember when i started getting them often
again and of course i dont remember...essh..and so i finished work and
came home and actually are a real dinner..and am working on a food
log..cas i see the nutritionist next month..and well there are some
eating issues going on in my head..but nothing to the extreme..and so
now im just laying down and thinking a bit..still thinking about the eye
contact thing from yesterday..and wondering if i have managed to get to
the bottom of it..its not anxiety well its a little bit of anxiety but
more than that it is related to fear...a very very big fear of being
unsafe around people i dont know..a fear of being hurt if i look at
someone else..attention caused trouble..and so some how in my head it
turned into this huge huge fear ..and ive gotten so used to not paying
attention to my surrounding..and ignoring ppl around me..and not seeing
things..that being asked to look at someone really is very
terrifying...i thought it was anxiety when i was with kathy and she was
standing in front of me..but in a room full of people i was partially
focused on her and partially focused on making sure no one was to close
to me..and kathy told me that she wouldnt let anything happen to me..and
even then i didnt realize it was the fear that was overwhelming..i knew
i was anxious..i mean i was in a situation that i was not comfortable
with..but wanting to see kathy outweighed my good sense to avoid the
party at all costs...but i did look at her a little bit..and just being
near her was able to get me to calm down some..i had to know where she
was at all times or else i would just feel completely nervous and on
edge and just watching everyone but not able to completely focus on
anyone..mommy taught me well..and i didnt realize it then..i knew i had
trouble with eye contact for forever..like even as a young kid..but i
didnt know why..i didnt understand why..but mommy was very clear on what
could and couldnt be said..so i didnt talk...she told me not to be
alone with males ..so i avoided everyone i could..that still didnt save
me though did it..cas when i was pushed to be social i was hurt..again
the irony of the whole thing is just freakin depressing.. and i better
stop...yeah need to stop
