No More Running Mood
Monday, September 14, 2009 | A Painful story
Not running-just staying with my turbulent emotions, trusting that what feels like overwhelmingly destructive thoughts and powerfully all-consuming emotions will lessen in time- is sooo hard.  I have to remind myself constantly that I am not my emotion, that I do not have to act on everything I feel, that running would be easier in the short term but would leave me shamed, reburdened and even more helpless.  The only way to empower myself is to move forward when I can and stay with the shit when I can't.  There's no going back on my resolve now.

    Wise words and I agree that we must move forward.
    Hope you're feeling a bit brighter now, love Gill
