LOL, ok, mood swings were really bad yesterday but I am working on that. I also acknowledge that I am lacking in confidence and I have to build that, too. I want to be ok with myself no matter what and no matter what criticism or other people's judgements say. I just want that acceptance that this is who I am and I am proud to be me. I am still trying to learn to love the reflection in the mirror which is so difficult at times. Many times, I feel so disgusted with myself.

When I get like that, I try to get out of my own head and start thinking, "how can I help someone else." They say, that going inside of our own head is dangerous territory. I really believe that! It is easy to get bogged down in there!
