> I am accepting that I got mental issues, but that it is OK. I function mostly OK when I am not stressed.
> I am accepting that as a child I got hurt, and the inside kids are gonna act up w/triggers, but if I am kind to them, they settle faster.
> I accept the truth that my bad feelings DO eventually pass, and there ARE things I can do, that are lifegiving, to help them pass better, or make them more tolerable.
> I am accepting(fearfully!) that my T DOES in fact care about me.
> I am accepting that I am NOT a disgusting person inside.
> I do NOT contaminate others. That is a wrong message I have in my head.
> I am accepting that that ikid is just a kid and she coped as best she could. SHE WAS JUST A KID.
> I am accepting that I am human and do make mistakes.
> I am starting to think maybe God not gonna crush me like a bug. Though I still pissed at him, thats a work in progress still....
> I am accepting that I been in a bad place for quite awhile and my life is rather in dissarray. But I am working on getting things in order.

> Mmuffled, you're right, acceptance is a big part of moving forwards. I commend you for reaching this point. I like this thread. It makes me want to cry though.
1.)I accept that not everything bad in life is my fault.
2.)I accept that i had no control over the bad things that happened to me in my childhood, and that I handled them as best as a young person could.
3.)I accept that there is a lot that I can't control in life and need to let go of.
4.)I accept that sometimes I need help from others and that I can't solve all my problems by myself. (That's the hardest)Wow, there are so many more that I need to figure out. Those are the big ones right now. For some reason this really struck an emotional chord... Feeling choked up, which I haven't for a while.
