THE DON'TS

Whatever the circumstances, please DON'T:

- Get isolated, or let others isolate you
- Blame yourself
- Let anyone put you down
- Hope for sick patterns to change, they won't
- Delay your life because of someone else
- Mistrust people in general because of bad experiences with some individuals who happened to be close to you
- Seek revenge (different from justice)
- Allow your personal limits to be ignored
- Take care of others more than yourself
- Worry more about others (due to guilt) than pamper yourself
- Try to cope with unbearable situations
- Try to change those people you trust - you really don't, for numerous reasons - and depend of, try to trust other people instead and depend more of yourself
- Cheat yourself and pretend "things can go on the same way" or "things are not so bad after all" - this only means your self-esteem is being affected and you need trust, care and empowerment instead
