I’ve lived my whole life as a “pleaser” and it is extremely anxiety producing. I just don’t want to do it anymore, BUT it is hard to break such a well engrained habit learned in childhood. I know it is related to seeking food for comfort AND to that permeating sense of anxiety you talk about. I so want to be free of this. I’m not sure I know where to go with this from here, but recognizing the problem is a start. Thank you Michelle.

Penetrating … I have been Toronto for 3 months and I live with my cousin and his family .We have never lived together before. I am messy and disorganised
They are quite the opposite ,obvious we are not compatible . These days they are not happy at all , I can not meet the requiremnets and always go wrong .
I am so worried that I will make mistakes and diappoint them ,but the fact is
I can not live up to the standards .
My nephew is 6 months old so there is a lot of work . I can not help with anything but trouble them a lot .
I focus on those trival things in my life and drive myself crazy .
When I feel terrible I binge on whatever I can get
Then I feel sorry for myself .

Hi, Michelle. I “ditto” Teresa. I’m working right now with a gal who doesn’t use food so much to cope, as she does procrastination, to the point that it’s negatively affecting her work (and apparently this has been an on-going issue for her for years in whatever jobs she’s been doing). She comes from a very rigid family, so I can totally see from your information above how she has become who she is today. And, as always, there are my own coping strategies that I see, as well. I’m pleased to report that my procrastination (one of many coping strategies that I have along with food) has eased a lot, thanks to your ongoing wisdom, and it just keeps getting better. I’m SOOO looking forward to your online course, and wish you and yours a lovely holiday season.

WOW…so true, so true. We have been under enormous stress due to a toxic housing situation and subsequent move. I have fouun myself second guessing myself but have taken the time to figure out what is triggering my thoughts. How insightful. Thanks Michelle
