moments of global dischord in my head

yesterday something in me kept pestering me to reach further... to try harder.....


when I was at home....


that I wasn't quite 'enough' yet...in how much I tried or put out there...


and then I tried a new way of thinking about things...


a definite mental wrong turn...


but then I saw my Dad...he asked me to do some errands with him..


he saved my spirit..but because of 'my new state of mind' - I interpreted


all kinds of his and my reactions to me or by me with a sense of falling short and


a personal global outlook disruption... lol


it's funny but it's not...


I tried not to give it power but I came home depressed as 'all get out' - I emailed my therapist


to give her a heads up - and then went to work...in what seemed to be a 


just mixed up frame of mind... but I did the work and I did good work - and yet


it's so funny how when things don't jibe or fit into or make sense in my global outlook


and understanding of things I can go 'wonky crazy'!


I had a therapist who was like that too - he had to have a sense of how I or maybe all his


clients fit into his world view of things and I saw him walking wobbly and spinning mentally


one time after he has a session with me!  


I know others who I've seen get that way too so I know I am not alone in that...


Talking about it here helps me feel in good company that my lack of understanding


has a place amongst others..a safe place and perhaps a sanguine place...


and I guess that's what we do here.


Yes, I am feeling off but I'll set my sights on reframing the state of mind


with the ephemerality of it - a sort of bad day that will pass - and not


too bad of a day at that...I'll appreciate the good things and get on with life...


Hope your days are going well. I've therapy in half an hour!

Hola pana (btw pana means friend in Puerto Rican)
You have super good vocabulary, I had to look up some of the words you were writing.
Anyways when you say you feel you are not quite enough yet, I think you are enough for sure for what it’s worth. The cool thing about you, me ... all of us is there’s not anyone else in the world exactly like each of us.
.... I hope any of that made sense, I know I write a little weird sometimes

Hope your therapy session goes good
Big hug <3

I’ve been feeling super challenged in recent weeks and it continues. Sending big supportive hugs your way.

You are “enough”….
What do you have to prove?
And to whom?

Like lil missy said, nobody else like any one of us and yes, that is cool!

i know i nag you about reaching further, but i don't believe in trying harder. trying harder creates too much head noise to allow for listening for the celestial guidance. when i let god lead the dance, those further reaches often turn out to be easier than i expected.

work smarter, not harder.
