Nothing to feel guilty about; you are making some good decisions so you don't need to second guess them.<br /><br />Take care.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797167028822330935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-61770675436779503402009-07-18T01:33:45.521+02:002009-07-18T01:33:45.521+02:00Well, I can't relate to the self-harm, but I c...Well, I can't relate to the self-harm, but I can relate to the discomfort of having beautiful things and not feeling worthy of them. I usually just get angry and - pretend? - that I actually hate the object. Kind of how I felt about a luxury car I was talked into buying a couple of years ago.VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-34632864782819473672009-07-18T01:28:47.259+02:002009-07-18T01:28:47.259+02:00I want your bike!

Don't forget how you fell off your old one several times if I remember correctly.<br />You must learn to think of yourself as being worthy of things.<br />I hope this has taught you that when really bad tension happens again, it is better to talk to someone about it than to cut. That is when you need to talk about things more than ever.<br /><br />Glad you feel so calm Irene.

You are the best Irene you could possible be. You are so great in so many ways, you have survived so much and you don't need to have remorse for sensible decisions.<br />I won't agree with you about hurting yourself and I won't disagree. <br />Irene, other people who have lots of money still steal it and do fraud and get money from people who can't afford it - then spend it on frivolities. This was a serious and important purchase.<br />You are not well, but you are coping, you are doing your best and you are coming along so far. <br />Never punish yourself. Never believe you deserve punishment or pain. That is letting the damage of the past win. <br />Hugslebanesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988892248196307424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-36868117038059737842009-07-17T20:09:14.916+02:002009-07-17T20:09:14.916+02:00kind of like the relationship I'm currently ha...kind of like the relationship I'm currently having with these particular pair of Chloe wedges.Jackie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10927853752999923273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-32902358658881192402009-07-17T20:00:03.770+02:002009-07-17T20:00:03.770+02:00Irene, I did not know what comments to leave on th...Irene, I did not know what comments to leave on the past few posts, but I must say that I certainly learned a lot. I have not had someone explain so clearly how the self-cutting helps. I have not used that solution, and I never really understood the attraction. Your candor teaches me something every day it seems. Thank you for being so open.paperbattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08508747697664669671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-91503004155895004882009-07-17T18:37:00.991+02:002009-07-17T18:37:00.991+02:00I'm glad you've got it figured out now.

Hopefully, the fact that you've figured it out will help you for future situations like this one. <br /><br />You DO deserve the new bike, but I guess you already know that. You've just got to help your gut understand what your head already knows.<br /><br />Hugs xxxBabaloohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11453252897926773386noreply@blogger.com
