falling into an old pattern

yeah so work was good today. Was using the acceptance of vagueness to get through the day,


cope and be kind to others and myself.


I came home and played with Blue, ate lunch, cleaned up after lunch and then


took a shower and dressed.


In the alone time now, I am finding myself taking little suggestive things that entered my scope


and now turning it into a global questioning of myself.


Not pleasant, good or welcome. I am gonna go for a walk or a ride to the Ralphs market..


Just gotta do something...I need to keep my mind busy - and that's just part of mental 


health hygiene. 


Namaste and happy day to you guys!!

Not all the threads of my pre-therapy snot knots were dysfunctional by nature. For example, "Dissociation." Used the way nature intended, dissociation can also be called, "Detachment" and that is most useful for calming emotional responses. It can also help me get through tedious drudgery which simply needs to be done but is immensely hard to enjoy.

"The acceptance of vagueness" sounds an awful lot like dissociation to me. In balanced doses, it can be a good thing.

So opineth the Arf. . . Don't ask me to defend the theory in front of a doctorate review committee. . .

Happy Pollyanna sugar to you, too.
