Ah, Poet. My self-esteem is shot to bits. Weekends do that to me.

> Number 6- *take responsibility* is a toughYeah. Maybe I need to stop seeing "take responsibility" and "see others' contribution" as diametrically opposed.
> Goal setting is tough, too.Same here. No, it's not tough, it's impossible for me. My goal has always been to not exist any more. But I can't do that to my siblings, so I just puddle somewhere out of their sight, where they can't see what a mess I am.

I've got to MAKE it go better.You know, I've taken all these baby steps over the past year, and of course therapists jump and scream and say it's not fast enough, I should get off my tush and so on. How about if they would take a minute to absorb why these "idiocies" were so challenging to me, and help me to approach things more efficiently, eh? Why is that so difficult for trained professionals?
Now I'm going to bathe then go for a walk. Two monster steps when I'm feeling the way I do presently.
