When I went to my counselor Thursday we talked about my negative self talk being so powerful and needing to not be so harsh on myself. The best advice I got was to just be, which immediately I asked be what? She said I just needed to be okay with how I am now and just be instead of trying to be something. At first I didn't really understand but I am starting to get it I think. I am finding it really hard to "Just Be" and not judge myself especially today.
This morning I was woke up by a sweet kiss from my wonderful husband whom had made yummy cinnamon pancakes. We sat as a family and ate our pancakes. Then we went and cuddled on the couch watching on of Andrew's kid movies but it was just a short one and he wanted to watch it over and over so after the second time I had had enough of it so I told him to pick another real movie to which he cried but eventually picked Monster's Inc. I laid there with him and tried to sleep as Jon got ready for his meetings he has before church. Then I guess I had dozed off b/c when I woke up Jon was ready to go and Andrew was over by the table drinking some juice. Then I looked over and Andrew was trying to clean up his spilled juice and I don't know why but I just lost it. I am not proud of how I acted at all and now I feel so horrible that I just want to disappear out of everyone's life so I don't hurt my son, husband, and family or friends anymore. I am so tired to hurting the ones I love the most, including me. I just want this hell to end. Don't freak out I am not suicidal I am just frustrated with how things are and with how I am. How can I just be when I am this way?
I am going to go try my cranial electrotherapy again to see if that helps. I tried to use it this morning but it just stung my ears too much so I put it away but a little bit of pain would be worth it to help me get through this morning. Wish me luck!

((hugs)) I have been in your shoes so many times. Praying for you sweet friend!
Praying for you too, Lexie. You have a beautiful smile...! Don't forget that! :)
We all do things we wish we wouldn't do, and it seems parenthood can sometimes bring out the worst in us. All we're required to do is to keep trying, when we fall back and make a mistake, we apologize, and try again. :) Atleast you have the resolve to keep trying. :D HF gives us the feeling of guilt to help us want to be better and improve, not to continually beat ourselves up, and continually think we're awful, and especially not when the guilt keeps us from being able to forgive ourselves. Lexie you are a wonderful mother who is having a bit of a hard time, remember to cut yourself a bit of a break, and instead of counting up the negative things you do, only count the positive. You got up out of bed, HUGE positive, You smiled at your son! Huge postive. Anytime a negative thought about yourself comes to your mind, push it out with a positive. Give HF the power,not the devil. HF loves you unconditionally no matter what!! He's there rooting for you, and wants you to feel of His love for you! Help him help you, and remember you're worth it, you're wonderful, and are very loved!! Love ya dear friend!
Alexis, I am so sorry for what you are going through right now...Just so you know (because sometimes it helps to know others make the same mistakes as you) but I have freaked out at my kids soo many times over little things! You are in our prayers. :)
I love you dearly and know that things will get better, maybe if you are up for it we could go to lunch some time this week? Just an idea!! Call me if you would like to I'm sure Andrew and Averee would have fun playing together!
Lexie you are wonderful, seriously you are. If nothing else convinces you then remember you are a member of heavenly farther's family and he thinks highly of you. None of us are perfect, I fear I owe Amelia many appologizes for not being a better mom, the kind I wish I was now rather than learning to become. Also I remember getting similar advise that your counselor gave you in a blessing my dad gave me in college, and it hit me when he told me that. I was overjudging my inperfections and not allowing myself to grow. Lexie Heavenly Farther knows you and knows your heart, don't deny who you really are by saying your less. Anyways I love you and think of you every day (seriously). Call me if I can do anything for you, or if you would like to have a girl night out(or in). I hope things start looking up more.
Good Luck
