I am like you about avoidance and not wanting to deal(except my tendency is more toward overeating, with a history of bulimia, not anorexia--but you nailed my personality and avoidant dysfunctional style!!!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-91800679725145140582011-02-08T17:27:48.708-05:002011-02-08T17:27:48.708-05:00I love, love, love that in the end, you truly did ...I love, love, love that in the end, you truly did realze you don't (and certainly shouldn't) punish yourself. That is a huge, significant step! So, yes, sometimes good comes out of bad - you see how far you've come. I think it is in Johanna Kandel's book . . . theres's an analogy of a talll dresser with many drawers. Top drawer is perfect, bottom the worst. It's okay to be in the middle drawers, they are still fine too.

Ni...Holy moly, I understand this so very well!!! <br /><br />Nicely done on the attack and getting out of the spiral, too!<br /><br />I have been realizing that I play the "I'm not a perfectionist, I just have to have it accidentally be perfect" which is avoiding the issue of perfectionism, I'm discovering.

It is a very adult, non-disordered thing to do to recognize an error and go at it head on rather than hiding behind a disorder or behind shame or avoidance. You deserve to not have to see yourself so black and white- you deserve grace and room to be human. :)hmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-9015864723887110282011-02-08T00:38:44.099-05:002011-02-08T00:38:44.099-05:00I understand that!
