i always tell myself that i am my own worst enemy. i just spent the last two days with my sister and she was not about to allow me to have the negative thoughts. everytime i tried to take the negative path, she steered me toward the positive path. this is the longest period of time that i have been able to, for the most part, remain positive in a long time. combination of meds, therapy and my sister's persistence or whatever, but i felt like a new person the past two days. now the key is to figure out how to do it myself. i am now back home and by myself. can i be successful? i keep telling myself that yes, i can. it is the baby steps that lead to success i think. i know it won't happen overnight but the baby steps i took have made me feel like i can maybe take a little bit bigger step next time.
