Hi dear friends….
Well we’ve made it through another week…. Just… I have been hopelessly stressed out. Literally, I have had to accept that some of my hopes have been non starters for years. No one had any intention of allowing me to proceed with my hopeful plans. I would have been stealing their limelight domination. My church was more of a theatre than a place of worship. The same people getting the starring roles… People there to be seen.
It can be like that in any group of people…
We all need to feel valued… Otherwise we are basically metaphorically playing tennis on our own, with no positive regard from others around us, and we become discouraged
Does it get like that for you dear friend?
How do we best deal with this?
Move… Seek out the really nice people…
Metaphorically pull the rug out from under the bullies. They must be stopped from hurting people.
Let’s fight for our happiness!
A good book to help us is ‘Feeling good, the new mood therapy’, by Dr David Burns.
Also, anything cheerful on YouTube.
Happy stuff…
And, Don’t get mad Print it!
Use a free word processor and keep the printouts in a loose leaf binder Not necessarily for anyone else to see…
And have fun! Anything you enjoy doing…
Cos us ocders ARE worth it…
Simply because of what we have to cope with… Very often alone… Cos the system is underfunded, And hopelessly overstretched.
We need all the help we can get… Maybe we should all write books about this, and self-publish on amazon kdp…. ???? We are experts after all!
And a very important thing… We need to look after ourselves first… Only then can we possibly have the strength to assist anybody else.
Until next Friday then, dear friends,
Wannabe
