I’m having a difficult time trying to deal with too many things at once. Like everyone else I have a limit to how many different issues I can cope with at once, although my limit seems to be much lower than the “average” persons. When I get overwhelmed like this I don’t even know where…

We as a society (in the west at least) seem to have developed this idea that Mistakes are BAD. I don’t really understand why. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s part of being human. Mistakes themselves are Neutral. It’s how they came about/how you deal with them that’s important. I personally feel that being honest, owning your…

Has started biting again. I am tired of the world today. I feel like a soldier that’s trapped in a never ending war. I can’t keep up with the demands life puts on me. And the people that are meant to come to my rescue are more interested in pushing paper around then actually saving…

I’m great in an emergency. I can stay calm, quickly assess what needs to be done, shout like a battlefield Sergeant, and generally sort shit out. I don’t understand why I have this particular skill however since I am completely incapable of organising myself, let alone others, in every day life. As a single mother…

Everyone is an individual. Each person, as unique as a snowflake. The things you love, somebody else probably dislikes. The thing you dislike are possibly as dream come true for another. One man’s trash and all that. But who in the Bazillion people we have on this planet likes Red tape? I seem to spend…

I really struggle with anxiety. It seems to come in so many forms and they all seem to require a different approach to handling them. There’s the constant anxiety that I’m failing. Failing as a Mother, as a Woman, as a human being. The fear that something is going to go wrong, it’s not exactly…

When psychology first started up, it’s main tool was introspection – the examination of one’s own mind. This has somewhat fallen by the wayside, not being scientific enough, I suppose. How can you understand the mind of another if you don’t understand your own? I wonder if the real reason we stopped was that it…

I’m a rather introverted person. I like my own company and quiet time. I find most people to be draining, even those I love but I do get lonely sometimes. I struggle to maintain friendships when most of the social obligations for women are way outside of my abilities and too often my friendships with…
