I always tell her that tomorrow is another day and that your crappy day will soon be over and forgotten. Perhaps the comment Steph said about seeing a professional would help. Honestly do not be afraid or feel less of a person to seek someone to talk to, I have in the past and it was really enjoyable and felt like a weight was lifted. No matter what just keep positive. Thanks for sharing so much on here and I really enjoy your Blog.Lanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00138878205753842401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-24474420292304135112011-02-15T23:24:53.272-05:002011-02-15T23:24:53.272-05:00(I might only be 21 and am not a mother, but I'...(I might only be 21 and am not a mother, but I've learned a lot about personal happiness and inner fulfillment from my very strong, independent mother and other women in my family. I'm not trying to boss anyone around, just had to give my opinion since I'm a Follower/regular reader who cares):<br /><br />If anything, I've learned that I will never be a good wife, mother, employee/boss, daughter or friend if I'm not happy with myself. I have to be able to look in the mirror and love who I am and the choices I make for myself every day.. or else, how can I be anything positive for anyone else?<br /><br />Life is just one big journey with so many roads waiting to be taken! It's all about CHOICES (and I truly believe, a tiny bit of luck). Take the time to find what you REALLY want and need out of life, and go for it full-throttle. I'm very, VERY fortunate to have the best support system to help me get through those days when nothing feels 'right' and I second guess all the decisions I'm making.. Find solace and salvation in family or sleep or books or God or whatever you need to believe in. <br /><br />But from all the experience I've had so far (and it's been a lot in such a short amount of years!), I can practically guarantee that you won't only feel comfortable in your own skin, but the confidence will shine through in all the areas of your life.. I love my mom for being who she is and never apologizing for it. As a daughter, I know your children will look up to that and thank you for years to come :)<br /><br />Enjoy your journey!

Sometimes someone who isn't in the situation can look into it with more clarity than you would expect. I love your blog, your outfits, and your honesty.

Just the other day in therapy I was working on how I take others' comments too seriously and make my own happiness conditional on everyone accepting me. You aren't the only one. I agree with the person above me that looking into therapy could be really helpful for you. It definitely helped me. <br /><br />I'm also trying to grow my hair and want it to be longer than it is now, so I'm even with you there. And I think yours looks beautiful long or short. =)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232221915711337308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-35858848582672914862011-02-15T21:26:45.512-05:002011-02-15T21:26:45.512-05:00I've been reading your blog for months now and...I've been reading your blog for months now and I really enjoy it. It's been obvious the past month or so that you've had a hard time, emotionally. I've been in "down" places before and it feels like no matter what happens, you're stuck in this fog of malaise that you can't get out of. I found things that made me happy and I had a wonderful family to lean on. <br /><br />Please, please don't take this the wrong way, but have you considered talking to a psychiatrist? Have you checked whether your insurance covers it? Does your employer offer an Employee Assistance Program? Even a few sessions will give you a chance to talk it out and at least figure out what makes you happy. Once you're doing something that makes you happier, people's opinions begin to mean a lot less.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889544761923479586noreply@blogger.com
