  1. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Often have I marvelled how each one of us loves himself above all men, yet sets less store by his own opinion of himself than by that of everyone else.
     
    [Πολλάκις ἐθαύμασα πῶς ἑαυτὸν μὲν ἕκαστος μᾶλλον πάντων φιλεῖ, τὴν δὲ ἑαυτοῦ περὶ αὑτοῦ ὑπόληψιν ἐν ἐλάττονι λόγῳ τίθεται ἢ τὴν τῶν ἄλλων.]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 12, ch. 4 (12.4) (AD 161-180) [tr. Haines (Loeb) (1916)]

  2. CW: Mental Health Journey

    Day 5 of being off of Trazodone after a month long taper. First time I’ve felt mostly normal in over 2 months.

    4 sessions of #EMDR in the books, really getting to my core wounds now. Tough work.

    Beginning to do the tough work of healing from #codependency.

    I always thought knowledge and awareness of trauma and mental health would spare me pain. But I’m beginning to realize some things are just painful, and healing takes time.

  3. Children of parents who have a mood or personality disorder, marital discord, are addicted, or overwhelmed with stress can feel lonely, invisible, and unlovable. It happens even when a parent is involved but not emotionally attuned to their children. This trauma leads to shame. #adultchildren #adultchild #acoa #childofaddicts #affectedothers #alanon #mentalhealth #feelings #trauma #shame #guilt #codependency #struggling #neglected #familyoforigin #neglect #emotions #selfesteem #boundaries

  4. As an #exchristian it can be hard to express personal #anger. The key is in recognizing that anger typically indicates a violation of #boundaries. #religions have a vested interest in adherents remaining #obedient & #subservient , demanding they offer #forgiveness. This provides the perfect atmosphere for #narcissistic #predators to take control. #Christianity breeds #codependency. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO FEEL & EXPRESS ANGER. It is also a legitimate part of grief. #atheist #psychology #healing #RTS
