Oh my goodness, Jojo, I could have written this sentence myself. I sound so reasonable in print or via words but the inside of my head is significantly less rosy!
Someone I knew who was brilliant but had all sorts of issues used to put it like this: "If your best friend had all these exact problems and concerns, what advice would you give them?"
I like to think NMP (and the likes of Pulisa, BlueIris, others who I know I am rudely forgetting...) is here for that. But good grief it's hard to take one's own advice at times! Hugs.
