relationships and boundaries

I am not talking about boundaries between friends and family (interpersonals) -


I am just trying to manage my moods that are swinging high high high


and then back down to earth today. We each need to give ourselves


a relationship to focus on to either entertain or carry us through 


any given moment. I was with Blue on the bed - and then I opened


a pack of cards and played solitaire on the floor (didn't win - boo) :)


Now, it's a gloomy day and I have my favorite music playing but I definitely can't


seem to give myself and my focus enough attention to stop my insides from


revving up with anxiety and HIGH INTENSE mood.


That being said - it helps that I am aware of it - and writing it here is helping 


me process and keep kind of therapeutic about stuff.


I'll go for a walk around the neighborhood and then I'll call it a day.


I mentioned boundaries because I can sometimes conceive of doing something


to exercise my wild spirit - and then it's a matter of kicking my butt .


I'll watch news or PBS and just take my meds and hit the sack


at around 4p - my usual time during the week.

Wow, don’t know how you can go to bed at 4pm! I know you get up early. Those kinds of sleep patterns wreak havoc for me and my moods…..I used to work at the airport with all kinds of crazy hours.

But I know what value you find in your job, and I’m glad for you.

As for relationships and boundaries, it’s something we are all working on. I’m trying to approach everything pragmatically and not be so hard on myself when things maybe don’t turn out like I had hoped for. You live in a place that, to me, seems as if it would have some outdoor type activities you could maybe find groups for? You have a social life and friends….every one of them is full of navigational needs. The more practice we have with it the better.

Sending a hug of peace for the week. I’m sorry you’re battling rough times with mood. I hope a good sleep reinvents the next day for you - sometimes that seems to be my cure.

Hugs

There’s a full moon coming up soon like on the 7th so maybe it’s starting to pull on our brains like it does on the ocean waves, I’ve been feeling the mood swings shifts too

Tomorrow when I get up & make my French vanilla coffee I’ll be thinking of you. I deal with major insomnia so sometimes I’m still awake when you wake up since you wake up super early & I’m on east coast time zone lol

Buenas noches <3
