As I was reading the "what I need from my partner thread," I kept thinking about what I need from myself, so here's a new list.

I need to accept that I'm human, like everybody else.

I need to see that my issues are not mine alone, but belong to a whole group of people.

I need to accept that I am the source of my own healing, that no one else can take away my pain.

Also in terms of issues, I need to take responsibility for who I've become, both the good and the bad. So something bad happened to me...I'm still responsible for myself. I believe I owe it to my friends and society to massage my spirit into its best form.

I need to realize that the source of self-confidence as well as self-doubt is in me. It's a choice, not an absolute. The same is true for working. I can either get up and make something or spend the day doing nothing. Another simple choice.

I need to live so that I am happy in reflection on my days.

I need to be able to live and love openly and without fear (and I mean love generally as well as in terms of particular people). I want to love living.

I need to be open to change, and growth along with the change.

I need to recognize there is an end to everything, and that the end will end my issues, so I might as well get over them before that happens! :)

I need to be able to laugh at myself and see myself fully and with love.

I need to be honest with myself and those who help me.

I need to reach out for help cause I can't do this without it.

Thanks,

I need to remember all the good people who have come into my life both here, at home and others who are friends.

I need to remember that I am not alone

I must remember that love is a two way street. One cannot take forever.
 
I need to remember it will not always hurt so much.

I need to remember that I am loved and others want me to be well.

I need to remember that while I am fragile, I am also strong.

I need to remember that one day I will be healed.

I need to remember that what my abuser thought of me doesn't mean one goddamned thing.

I need to remember that everything he told me was a lie.

I need to remember that I know the truth.

Most importantly, I need to remember that there is help and hope.

Peace and love, brothers.

I need to be good to myself.

I need to keep moving forward.

I need to not retreat into "my own little world".

I need to love myself.

I need to see the good in me.

I need to accept the unchangable.
 
I need to love me everyday
I need to be so grateful for the best friends I have ever had
I need to be thankful for NOMSV and the tremendous, brave people that are here, the true survivors
I need to live for the Now, not yesterday for it is gone not tomorrow for it isn't here yet but for the NOW, today this minute, this second
 
I need to learn how to be my own person without backing down but still be understanding of others.

I need to stop thinking that nice things that people do for me are an evil scheme to hurt me later.

I need to learn how to confront my everyday problems and not run away.

I need to stop being so defensive.

I need to learn how to appreciate the closeness of another loving human being.
 
This is good thing to think of. What do I need from myself?

I need to protect myself and my safety.

I need to forgive myself for what has happened in my life, I need to recognize it is not my guilt to carry.

I need to accept myself, all of myself, including the 'others', as I am.

I need to accept that I may not always perfectly walk this path, but that failure is not an option.

I need to be kinder to myself, and allow myself to be healthy of body and mind.

This is a very good thread, and very thought provoking.

I need to accept that what has happened has happened, and life still moves on.

I need to accept myself, and not be ashamed of myself and who or what I am.

I need to forgive myself for what has happened to me, and for the mistakes I have made.
