Hi - Just had to share this. I cannot believe the level to which I was in denial!
Now that I've started to pull my head out and dry up I can see the millions of ways I was denying responsibility of my own life!
The biggest scare is the financial mess I'm in. Has anyone else had to dig themselves out of a serious financial mess?
Thousands of dollars in student loans for grad school, overdue bills, collections, etc. It's ridiculous because I make very good money, but I may as well be making minimum wage with how much I've taxed myself financially. I'm 36 and still paycheck to paycheck. It's unbelievable -- I just imagined it would somehow magically go away, that I'd always have a bail out.
Now I feel, for the first time, that I can face it and cope but I wonder if I'll ever truly be able to dig out. Amazing how an 'adult' can be so childish in the most important of ways.
