Still standing

Jan 01, 2013 18:42

2012 was fucking dreadful. Not ALL of it. But much of it. I've never felt so disorientated, terrified or dissociated from myself and life as I did in 2012. I can't say that a lot of places but I want to say it somewhere. Acknowledging the dreadfulness doesn't mean I'm defeated though: I'm grateful right now to still be standing, still be off ( Read more... )

Right there with you bb! 2012 was hellish for me, too, but I'm hopeful about 2013.

I want to spend LESS time thinking about my mental state and big picture stuff and more time enjoying details, the small things. Trust myself, trust time, trust life a little more.

You and me both. :)

Mmm, it becomes self-defeating sometimes, doesn't it? I've ben so worried about the BIG stuff it becomes all consuming and the worries just feed the problem I'm worried about in the first place. letting things be a bit is my new hope!

I feel honored to have you share with me such a beautiful description of your ongoing journey. Thank you for that. You made me feel better knowing you're out there: struggling, growing, hoping. I'm doing the same.

And I'd like to say to all those people who found 2012 to be hellish: you're not alone, and no, it's not always going to be like this. Even I know this! I may not always *feel* it, but I know it. :) So I'm grateful for a new year that brings new possibilities.

You've hit exactly how I'm viewing things at the moment. 2012 had so many ups and downs (sadly, more downs) but a new year offers so much. :D

It's lovely to see a post from you. :D Happy New Year.
