Willing to be willing but unable to stop

a little more grounded....

so i am feeling much better today. i began to feel better after writing that huge crazy blog but talking about it with my best friend for 2 hours after really helped. i just cannot believe how insane i am sometimes and how much energy i am willing to waste on a person i barely know.

i am just going to play it by ear and not freak out anymore. i guess my biggest fear is that some guy will sweep me off my feet through lying, manipulation and false charm. i do not really care that much if he is seeing other people or does not want to be exclusive, i just want to know the truth so that i know what i am dealing with and can move foward. i need truth. maybe i should first start by trusting myself. maybe that is why i have so much trouble trusting others.

i do know one thing. when he gets back, i am going to slow things down. even though we did not have sex, i still feel vulnerable in a female sort of a way because of the level of physical intimacy we shared. until i trust him and know that we are exclusive, i am going to go slow. i wonder if one can pull the reigns on something like that now that we have already crossed that line.

i did go to the gym today, the first time since march when i relapsed. it felt sooooooo good. i continue my recovery today and did not b/p. a bit lonely tonight, since it is friday night, and i have these notions that i should be out and about since it is friday night. but who really cares? and then again, am i really feeling lonely or just feeling what the world projects onto someone to feel? i do not really want to be out and about. the truth is i am exhausted from the work week and i had just as much fun hanging with my roommate, doing errands and going to the gym.

thank goodness such madness did not last another day. thank God.

I'm glad to hear (read) you're feeling better and detaching your thoughts from this man a bit. Good for you for going to the gym! Exercising is so great for clearing your mind and making you feel better about yourself - and, consequently, everything in your life!

hugs,
Em

I know it's hard to try not to obsess about things/people so I am not even going to try and give ya any advice on how to do that because I suck at it.

Glad you worked out. Makes ya feel better, doesn't it?
