So I saw my therapist today. And I am not going into depression or losing my mind. I have triggers setting off my swings of emotion. She showed my some holistic procedures to combat these attacks. I am anxious to try them.
They are called the tapping methods. Anyone else heard of them? You find the center of what feels like it's going into anxiety (like heart, head, back---each starts to feel unnatural I guess) and you do these tapping areas. She showed me 5. And I have to say "even though I have this_________, I deeply and completely love myself"
I know it may sound funky or off the wall to some but I do NOT want to take meds. I have used a deep breathing method from another therapist and it works. When I do it. lol So I am hoping this works.
My biggest issue? I have never once in my entire life loved myself more than others. I always have put myself last and felt fat, old, not as pretty. So it may have taken me 60 years but I will be loved by myself. Then I can let another love in.
Make sense?

Hugs, and yes it does make sense. I have always put myself last and now I am first in line. Looking after ourselves is so important because if we do not take care of ourselves, we cannot look after anyone. It has taken me 64 years to realize that. It is hard to reverse the ingrained thinking of putting ourselves last. But we can do it. Smile, my friend, you are going to be fine.
Yes, I\'ve heart of it. I think it\'s called EFT. I\'ve never really tried it though. But I hear it works wonderfully. Make you #1 today :)
