i have not

if you would be so kind as to tell me how you were able to forgive yourself for the trash you've left in your wake, how you've been able to move forward despite stupid mistakes and outright self-sabotage, it would really help me out a lot

2. I've made a few mistakes, just come back and post as you posted before.
We all have our meltdowns from time to time...some of us more than others. But if you're a die-hard like me, you'll be back for more.

:spank:

4. Boy do I feel for you
First of all get clear on what you CAN DO to clean it up.

Make a list.

If there's something you CAN DO, then do it. Even if you don't do it right away, resolve yourself that you WILL do it..write it down and get it done.

Remind yourself that all you can get done is what you can get done today.

If you can't clean it up...what good works can you do in place of that which you cannot clean up.

Don't take this as a list of things to do..but as a way to be.

5. that's good advice
i've been filing out job applications, and every line (job history, "education") dredges up a load of depressing memories

making a list of how to "be" is a good idea

6. I can relate
There may be other things you can do.

Feel free to PM me if it's something you'd rather not post and something you trust me to read.
