I would have small successes but ultimately failure would arrive soon after and I would feel worse than before. I finally sought medical help and went on medication and I've got to say that for me that was the best thing ever to happen. It's been 2-1/2 years since then and I'm now off the medication and doing much better. <BR/><BR/>I like what you said about doing something positive, one day at a time. I'm glad to hear that you no longer want to die. I think that is the saddest thing in the world when someone feels so bad about themselves that they consider ending their life. I wish they knew how much they mean to the people around them and how tragic their death would be to everyone. <BR/><BR/>I found you through Kyknoord's blog.Chris & Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15245165184250379636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9292887.post-1140911381317995432006-02-26T01:49:00.000+02:002006-02-26T01:49:00.000+02:00Someone once said that women who are in abusive re...Someone once said that women who are in abusive relationship choose to be there. They chose to get knocked around. I was pretty shocked because the man was a victim advocate and the words just didn't seem to jive with all I knew about him. Then he elaborated.... the women have to understand it's their choice to stay where they're at....before they can realise they can choose to be somewhere else. They have to realise they are in control. And they have to take control. <BR/><BR/>When you really think about it...it makes sense and can apply to everything that we (women AND men) let 'beat' us. <BR/><BR/>When we realise we're in control...and truly understand this...that's the first step in fixing it.
