Duplicate post

I failed the exam....

Unstuck-ing - 19 Sep 2014 - 1:16am

.... but strangely don't feel that I've failed as I TURNED UP and you have no idea how  big that was for me!! Or maybe you do -

And now I know what I'm dealing with next time so I won't let myself be intimidated in the same way.

So I will be taking a month off to do exercise, figure out where I'm going to live, that kind of thing. Then I will be back with you guys...

Thanks for being and understanding in some of my darkest hours.

Lots of love

Unstuck-ing...

movingalong - 17 Sep 2014 - 6:13pm


Thanks for your support!

Unstuck-ing - 18 Sep 2014 - 2:49am

Well - 'it's" over - hopefully by freak of grace, properly over but at any rate, over for next 6months. The blessing of today - is that I was truly blessed with the courage to show up, walk in, and not walk out, no matter how humiliating. "My strength is in your weakness" - and man, I am so weak.

Weak, but not worthless or hopeless.

So thanks and I'll let you know about the outcome in next 36hours. Meanwhile:

Aim to watch TV and read a book

Aim NOT to go on internet shopping spree for beautiful evening gowns that I have NO use for - despite what the movies and shows say about 'glamorous doctors lives' !! Baahaahaa! :-D

 

Solidarity to being alive! And see you around either way.... 

Well done Unstucking -

Maintenance tasks, do what works for me, think good thoughts
someone said “all action is born in thought, life  is reflection of
thinking”wow almost 6 months since this thread started. got through some very hard times without shutting down. grateful to have a place to "show up".

"Hard times can motivate and mold us to bring out our best. We can use these times to move forward and upward to higher levels of living, loving, and growth.
The choice is ours. Will we let ourselves feel? Will we take a spiritual approach, including gratitude, toward the event? Will we question life and our Higher Power by asking what we're supposed to be learning and doing? Or will we use the incident to prove old, negative beliefs? Will we say, "Nothing good ever happens to me... I'm just a victim... People can't be trusted... Life isn't worth living"?
We do not always require hard energy, or stress, to motivate us to grow and change. We do not have to create stress, seek it, or attract it. But if it's there, we can learn to channel it into growth and use it for achieving what's good in life.
God, let my hard times be healing times."From The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie 

Thank Vic

Unstuck-ing - 15 Sep 2014 - 7:43am

vic - 17 Sep 2014 - 8:31am

Thank you for your kind words. I think the trick for all of us is to put our "knowing " into "doing". So grateful we can do that, or even have the hope to do it here,and be understood. V

Refreshed!

Unstuck-ing - 14 Sep 2014 - 8:45pm

I woke up at 800am today after going to bed at 2230last night and having the best sleep I;ve had in weeks! I was so so so weary and exhausted (not the same thing) and feeling guilty as couldn't concentrate.

Today I felt I can concentrate and geared up for 3&1/2 days of hard work until exam Thurs ago. I can do the best that I can do - and it will have to be enough. Its not over yet UNLESS I give up - the outcome might still be in my grasp. Not a given, but not impossible.

I had a healthy day yesterday cooking abirthday dinner and cake for a good, hardworking friend who really appreciated it - It often the little everyday things people appreciate.  

Healthy things Ive done this morning:

- healthy b'fast

- hotshower

- confirmed last debt payment! And closed account!!!! Triumph to our community of solidarity and commitment!! A big thank you to you all for walking that journey w me! (or really carrying me!)

- extended hotel stay for exam

- avoidedinternet scrolling for real estate

 

Plans:

Only 'to do'

- drop off vacuum cleaner to fixer-uppersshop

 

- during afternoon break, wash and change sheets

- pack bagfor flight tmr

 

For 'mind heath' -

- chat box

- past papers only

An hour maxeach paper... GO THROUGH THEM QUICKLY   

Solidarity and see you in chat box!  

Thanks Jalla

Unstuck-ing - 15 Sep 2014 - 4:50am

The old demons are coming out to play - even though started off the day so refreshed and victory insight! So quickly did the fear and self loathing and self flagellation come out - 'you don't deserve to pass compared to others so giving up is the only 'right' thing to do" - rubbish like that.

 

It is all irrational bullocks but so REAL. Needless to say I was paralysed from about 11am until 4pm - - the precious time is gone now. But still can't give up! It would only give more firewood to the destructive thoughts and fears. So I just have to keep on keeping on. Tiny tiny tip toes!

 

I had to avoid chat box today as just fell into internet swap today. I'm going to try again now. Done about 1.5hrs of 'the good stuff' - its a start.  

@ unstucking

jalla - 16 Sep 2014 - 3:06am

I so relate with what you wrote!! The thing is you stopped the paralysis and are abck on the horse again. Tiny tip toes will still get you to the line- they all add up! You are nearly there now. Be kind to yourself  and dont forget breaks as well. Good luck with study.Will be thinking of you on Thursday. 

 

@ unstucking

jalla - 15 Sep 2014 - 3:23am
