One tiny baby step at a time.
Do one thing every day that scares you, and do not deny the fear because you think it is silly. When i was at my lowest point i was afraid to get the mail. I was in a state of isolation and mail was an interference to my protective shell. It sounds silly to you certainly, but to me it was a real fear. I set the goal on day one to bring it in. Day two, bring it in and actually look at it....and so went the baby steps, until i realized i was getting a tiny bit stronger, one day at a time.
You will not regain your self esteem overnight. But you can take a tiny step toward it today.
Ocean...you CAN di it!!!
Di it? Do you mean "dye it" or "DO it"? Because if she is going to dye something, that will have to be handled in small steps too.[;)]
ocean, in all seriousness...holly gave some good advice. Take some time and recover...that means pushing the remnants away into a pile a bit at a time and as you sweep them up, you'll do what most people do when they sweep...you'll pick up a broken piece and cry over it all again...but then you will pick up a broken piece and smile and that's a good sign...and when you pick up the broken piece and begin to examine the faults of that piece, tis a better sign. But it takes time to get there...so give yourself time and when you are there, remember something I heard that I felt made a lot of sense..."you can't live on until you let go".
