lots of therapy
learning how to say things like, please don’t talk to me that way or in that tone
learning how to say, that hurts me when you call me that name or comment on my weight or looks
learning how to say, please do not compare me to so and so
learning how to say, what you have just said is hurtful
therapy, you need to have someone on your side to practice with…and the psych meds help a lot

How I did it: I looked on craigslist for people who had similar experience to mine. Then, I cut and pasted bits of their resumes into one giant ten page document.I honed this document down and sent it to four of my close friends to edit.Their edits landed me my current job. Read how I did it…
How I did it: After a few years of being medicated for anxiety, I'm finally coming down off the ceiling and am able to have what I would deem NORMAL business interactions with folks. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I called the broker who sent me stock information every quarter, and they walked me through the process. It took a couple of weeks because I'd moved since making my initial purchase and had to change my address in order to receive a payment. Read how I did it…

some plants love neglect
my favorites are the aquatic plants in my fishtank, java fern
they thrive in dirty fish water and low light
you never have to water them because they live in the water floating around…i’ve kept mine alive for more than a year, and they have almost over grown the tank…i’ve got enough of them to share with friends who have aquariums….success!
i found some that worked better for me than others…seven or eight therapists later and a couple of medication shifts, and i feel like a new woman
