my therapist is out of town for ten days
my therapist is out of town for the next 10 days.
I am really happy for her that she is taking a break, she deserves good things
and I love her a lot.
I humbly come here acknowledging that time on my own I start to spin - and
I react to things within me that portend how I should be - or how I want to be - and then
start to think in terms of actualizing that but can't seem to make the first step.
In other words my therapist is out of town - I humbly come here - because I know she will
be out of reach for a while - and my mental health challenge makes me feel ill equipped sometimes
to deal and I just need support.
I feel better for writing this - and saying it - I'll get things ready for work tomorrow
and just keep on keeping on. Got "Star Trek" on - and it is fantasy that is kind of soothing.
Thanks for being there friends.
peace and namaste,
Mark

It also reminds me that I still have aspirations. Negotiating or navigating them may require a change in the qualitative or quantitative nature of them. Humility and reality check.
You can do it! stay connected to mental health community mark - participate in the boards too! It’s good for so many reasons. It keeps you connected to others who may struggle and therefore less feelings of isolation. You can use your expertise in dealing with it all to help others and contribute. It will help keep a fine balance of focusing on your own woes and struggles and need for reassurance - by offering all that comfort to other in times of need. Don’t be an island!
Sending strength and a can of spinach for your day.
You've gotten a great balance and you're doing a great job!
Even when the effort to stretch my comfort zone proves that I am not ready for that step, I still gain tremendously for the willingness to try. Each effort helps me grow my awareness of my condition. Practice, practice, practice. . .
With as much growth of awareness as I have seen here in your journal, it definitely seems like you ought to give the stretch of the old comfort zone a whirl to see how she twirls. Who knows? ? ? You might be experimenting with other brands of coffee before ya know it. Maybe even spinach in your coffee?
Lean freely. Lean often. You are not alone.
