I had a taste 15 months ago

of being assertive to someone I loved this week.
It made me feel awful, sad and low.
But, suprisingly I did’nt crumble !
I havn’t yet ‘fixed’ the situation, smoothed over
my assertion or appologised for being me.
This is a big change.

I think 18 months ago

somehow Im doing this.
With the situation in the family such as it is, I have needed to be quite vocal & assertive in making our
feelings heard.
I have felt quite ok with doing this,
indeed it has been fairly liberating.
I realise more that I am assertive when I feel confident about the situation.
I am less assertive dealing with matters closer to home, saying ‘no’ to friends & family is much harder.

Slowly. 20 months ago

I have been super focused on this goal as it links in with my depression.
I have been better at looking after my own best interests & not jumping in to offer to ‘fix’ stuff for everyone.
Im struggling with the guilt, but know I need to carry on with this.
So its slow progress but any progress is great.

Try really hard to be assertive & not feel bad about it. 22 months ago

Im not a bad person if I say no.
Im not a horrid person if I give myself time to do what I want.
Im not devoid of feelings, I do get hurt.
