You know, I have found that there are people in this world that truly make you feel wonderful, that you are a very important person (it's too bad it's taken me 43 years to come to that realization) and then there are others who are out for you. I always thought I was being selfish when people would pay me a compliment or pay special attention to me, but I have now found out that being selfish is ok, you need to look after yourself (WOW, what a concept!!). I'm actually embarrassed saying that because it's such a simple thing, but with "baggage" in the way, that simple thing is a huge hill to get over.
EMDR has really helped me get to the bottom of my anxiety and panic, lets me sort out where it's stemming from. This friend is someone I don't think I want in my life. She tends to be very opinionated and I don't want that, people like that make me feel intimidated, that I'm no good. I guess, I've allowed her to make me feel that way.
I have found, you must surround yourself with positive things in life, again another simple sentence, but very true. Those positive things make you feel worthwhile and important, doesn't matter how little, or how big, feeling worthwhile feels huge.
Thanks for listening :)
