Although, I'll add one teeny tiny bit of a differing opinion: I don't think marrying Z was a mistake, per se. I think that it was an even along your path in life that eventually led you to a fork that made way for you to move to SF.
nods vigorously
Yes. It wasn't a mistake, it was a necessary stop, which led you to where you needed to end up.
I think I have a wierd view of mistakes - as you can't grow without them . So there isn't much point in regretting them. But some you need to acknowledge and put on the shelf so you don't repeat them. I can think of a number of things that I have done that I don't wish to repeat - but since they all lead me to who/ where I am today I can't regret them
Again, thank you, and y'all have good points. I still look at my past self and go, "WTF, self?" But, I did learn a lot about boundaries and what I want and what I'll put up with. I just wish I hadn't let him beat my esteem down so far. That's what I regret.
Well, that, and not kicking him in the head.
Aw, juliana. I think about the day you arrived, and Hec and Deb and I helping get stuff into your place and pump up the Aerobed Lee lent you, and how you were all broken and lost and unable to imagine the shape of your life without Z, and then I think about the entire world you've made for yourself since then, and I'm just stunned at your strength and resilience and capacity for joy, and I feel so privileged to know you.
Sooo, has anyone here ever taken Celexa? My doctor seems to think it will help with my panic attacks and crazy stress levels.
The only people who don't make mistakes are boring people who never risk anything. um ... not juliana. Learn and go on. And really - isn't being happy and living well the best revenge?
I did, but for depression. Had no problems. I think Sail may have taken it as part of an anti-anxiety, though.
He's been moving away from Z, though, because Z is apparently becoming a giant jackhole
becoming
? he passed that point a Loooooooooooooong time ago.
