Freedom of expression

Hi Michelle,

I have to just say I love the way you have so freely expressed your mental meanderings in this post without censorship. It's something I get very caught up in - editing every written word to death as if I was trying to submit it as a work of literary genius, thinking critically about every phase and it's appropriateness (my god I'll let that one go even if it isn't a real word!) for the expected audience. But as you say you can only look after your own corner!

Also it's a big step, moving out, so I think you are fully justified in being a little anxious, it's natural you would be!

Michelle I just absolutely LOVE your absolutely no nonsense approach to absolutely everything. I find your hilarious and witty and your practicality is sooooooo sooooooooo soooooooo motivating it is a bridge of trust for me when I am just starting to trust 'life' myself.

This post is really, really cool.

Beating yourself up for still having to use a resource like this - maybe if you are depending on it, but you aren't you are simply using it, think of all the people without an ed or any distress that have negative or distorted thinking and that will never do anything about it, even when you are fully recovered, which seems extremely soon from where I'm standing, you will still need to control and formulate your thoughts - you think therefore you are - you will think until you are 6 feet under - so if you being smart enough to use a resource like this to formulate and straighten your thoughts out sooner rather than later is a sin then daliancing with negative thinking and rumination must be an admirable trait....? Lots of fully recovered people 'use' this site and your sharing helps over 140 people every day....

I intend to be fully free but that won't stop me learning in life and living life and helping others like you say and in continuing to live that will mean posting here too.

I really like how you posted this - I felt like I was in your mind - embrace yourself and all your myriad of traits Michelle - you are an explosion and concoction of uniqueness and brilliance - your wit and your practicality - your eloquence and your articulation - your wise head and your zest for life with your basket ball playing!!!!

How exciting moving out - me too!!! I, personally need a break and will find a way to finance it and get myself going but not break my back either, I'm done breaking my back, I support my back now instead.

Go for gold Michelle - you are just super x x x

Joy

I love your reply as much as you love my post!

Thank you Joy:)
I'm taking two very important concepts from your generous, motivating reply:
"I intend to be fully free but that won't stop me learning", and
"I'm done breaking my back, I support my back now instead".
You're a great inspiration Joy.
And just to update on my day - it got busy and it was simply no longer practical for me to keep thinking about behaviours, so I didn't. That felt good.

Keep up the good work Joy,
I'll do my best to do the same,
