1. I have decided that no one can hurt me unless I give them permission. I have decided that I will choose to be happy and choose to interpret all interactions in a positive light.
2. I will try to fight the suicidal thoughts and (well, maybe) I will finally reach out for more help other than just the pills. I will not stop the medication because I accept that my brain is too f**ed up to allow me to function without it.
3. I will not feel responsible for everything that goes wrong in the lives of my children. I will help if I can, but not go out of my way to try to please them. I will love myself and not worry about being unlovable.
4. I will be brave enough to accept life, in all its pain and beauty.
