What's foremost in your mind these days?

hugsssssss

I wonder if you're trying to deal with too much all at once? I mean, I know how it feels to want to make everything better right now, but these things take time, and often you can only tackle them one at a time. Try to be patient with yourself and breathe...hug yourself when you feel like this and know that we are all hugging you too!

Sending lots of positive energy your way! :)

Practical suggestion; made on the basis of some things that worked for me.

If I am confused and overwhelmed, I stop. I breathe. This was suggested to me when I was in a world of compulsive doing. I was complimente for all that I was "doing", and told to do one more thing. I was told to simply "wait". I did not want to hear that. I wanted an instant fix. After a week of resentful sulking, I was so overloaded that I just quit. I did not work. I did not talk. I did not go to Al Anon meetings. I "caved up" in my room and used my "determination" to make my body be still. Pretty soon, my mind followed. After that, the feelings began to settle; and even make sense. If I can make any of this clearer, you have only to ask. You are a fellow "Claritan", and I owe you the best I have to give.

I think there are some good replies here.
Like Tiger I wonder what is the foremost thought going on right now??
I completely understand that overwhelmed feeling. For me meditation was the answer. I was able to center myself and prioritize my "issues". I have always dealt with everthing in life from a logical point of view and this helped me out. The emotions that were swirling around were not logical.... So I had to reorder them in order to deal and eventually over come them.

Now this may not be your style ( I don't know) but I wanted to share what worked for me.

Insecure I think you are a very special woman and I am proud to be your friend. My positive thoughts are definitely aimed for you girlfriend.

HUGS AND LOVE. I'm sorry I can't write anything more profound right now, but that's the primary message I want to send you. We're here. We love you.

hey wanted to add my love here also.
I think maybe like Bob a rest for trying to decide might be inorder
i seem to have come on leaps and bounds since i quit therapy
quit digging
and just started chilling out and relaxing and 'being'
i know we are all different and at different stages but thats my experience for what is is worth!

About the "recess" from therapy Blackie, I think you are onto something. All the digging in therapy brings up a lot of "dirt" to process. So we take a pause to sort through all of it. Digging is spiritually tiring. We all must rest. And it i s good to share what we find. Some ot that dirt hides stuff better not faced alone!

Hope this second comment helps you.

Just wanted to send some love and positive thoughts your way, Insecure. (((Hugs)))
