  My Unhappiness is because of Witness Thinking I have not given up

  by joelbear in

  2. beliefs

  its pretty clear to me that my continued depression and anxiety is mostly tied up with even after all these years, still basically thinking like a witness.

  1. i expect things to be perfect.

  i expect myself to be perfect and am continually disappointed.

  great thread joelbear....

  can totally relate. not only do I have the witness perfectionism but I had two parents who were drill sargeants at home about everything. perfection was a must for us children.

  it was so hard to maintain. life is so much easier to let go and not be judgemental. it's a constant struggle for me, but I'm getting better at it over time.

  glad to see you feeling so much better. it made my day, seriously! freedomlover

  The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. Henry David Thoreau

  by jst2laws in

  desperation.

  the evidence mounted that your faith which you mistakenly built upon men, your entire spirituality, your life, was standing precariously high upon the wobbling foundation of an artfully contrived fraud.

  remember the quiet desperation?

  I can't believe they had the nerve to come back!!!

  2. experiences

  just officially finished my christmas shopping and came home to drop everything off before i had to go pick up our oldest son at kindergarten.. i ran out to check the mail before leaving and 2 elders were walking up our steps.. one of them has been to our house before and he is the same one who did the despicable funeral talk at my husbands grandmothers funeral.. the conversation goes:.

  i called the wts legal office and your organisation has been informed that if you come to our home, call or send us mail you will be trespassing and it will be considered a form of harrassment and i will call the police.. elder bw - we came to see if ________ was home so we could speak to him about his intentions?.

  me - unlike you, my husband actually works for a living, he's at work like most decent people during the day!

  someone i cared for has taken her own life.

  things between us were not the best lately even though i cared for her deeply, we last parted on bad terms and there wasnt ever closure.

  and please, dont ever think it is too late to change the person you see in the mirror every day.

  Evergreen - CoC (Crisis of Conscience) is great. The first book I read was called Toxic Faith and it was a huge eyeopener. - freedomlover
