I tried to get on your blog a few times a while back and it had become invite only.<br />I think you might need help to break that cycle of guilt/anger because they are not good for you even in the short term.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862893880440624911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842813601973874118.post-84415208500868567212009-06-29T22:40:41.165-05:002009-06-29T22:40:41.165-05:00Honey, I hate seeing you hurting. However, I thin...Honey, I hate seeing you hurting. However, I think it’s time for you to seriously acknowledge how awesome you really are. I don’t mean just writing it out in a blog…I mean truly feeling it. I could list a million words to describe how wonderful I think you are…beautiful x 100, talented x 100, uber-intelligent x 100 (see how easy the math is?)…but if you don’t believe what I’m saying, then it’s all just piss in the wind. <br /><br />It would be nice if we were impervious to other peoples’ projections and manipulations but, the truth is, we sometimes base our sense of self on them. Why should you feel guilty because someone is taking advantage of YOU? Why should you put your feelings aside because they might offend the person who IS HURTING YOU? Love your friends and family, but not at the expense of your own self-love. Your emotional & physical health is priority #1, and it’s not up for discussion. It’s not being selfish, woman…it’s being true to yourself. And dammit – YOU DESERVE IT!<br /><br />And now for a good dose of that medicine for myself. Lord knows I have my own issues with anger & guilt. Amen.Kim S.

It's not so much that I don't get angry, it's acknowledging it, letting it go and moving on.<br /><br />Sometimes it works better than others. Guilt... yeah, I have guilt. I'm Catholic. I have enough guilt for three people.<br /><br />Hugs.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820151216368057393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842813601973874118.post-33194874318496197902009-06-29T17:40:41.616-05:002009-06-29T17:40:41.616-05:00Ashley - I think if I actually lashed out (at anyo...Ashley - I think if I actually lashed out (at anyone except my brother) I might actually feel some relief!

I once was filled with anger, but have since shaken that off, and now I find that I don't care.<br />In regards to guilt.

This is such a hard one. From what I kno...Aw, Miss. This is such a hard one. From what I know of you you're boisterous, opinionated, and someone who laughs hard - but with that it can be really challenging to not over extend yourself or feel guilty or angry when people don't match your energy level or understand where you're coming from.<br /><br />You're doing good. Take it on in small pieces, and pay attention when you can be learning from it- otherwise don't worry too much about holding onto these emotions. I'm thinking about you! If cupcakes will help (Clue: They will) I'm all stocked up and we're overdue for a date =)Kyla Romahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522259960482023707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842813601973874118.post-33972617273171164892009-06-29T16:38:44.546-05:002009-06-29T16:38:44.546-05:00Man, do I know the feeling.

I've let go of a lot of resentments that I held onto for a long time too. Guilt, though. That's a doozie. I've been working hard at letting go of guilt because it's caused me to do so many things I didn't want to do. Lately I'm not as burdened by it, but that has come at a price as well. It angers some people that I've stopped doing things solely out of guilt and started doing what's good for me instead. I have chosen to think of that as their problem, not mine.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02346270444167796947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842813601973874118.post-70266666617186859102009-06-29T14:00:21.113-05:002009-06-29T14:00:21.113-05:00I find myself constantly having a 3-way with anger...I find myself constantly having a 3-way with anger, guilt, and resentment.

I've become a rather angry person, lashing out at people for no reason other than they did something to inconvenience me. I have to routinely calm myself down from being so angry and I hate that i've become this way. Hopefully the next few months will help me manage these things...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
