Thank you both for your SO kind words! and gentle support. I truly appreciate it.
I am feeling a LOT better now (9:30 pm). I would NOT have believed yesterday that I could possibly feel this much better this quickly.
I had therapy today with the lady who I go to through hubby's Employee Assistance probram at his work. She is SO excellent. She helps me understand myself & understand the triggers, & how when I feel like I felt during some childhood trauma, the 'now' me interprets the 'now' stuff as being traumatic & horrendous like it was for the 'child' me. My mind misinterprets it.
She also explained lots of other things, including when I wake up from bad dreams feeling dreadful, my mind doesn't know the difference between what is REAL & what ISN'T real. So I now say out loud (if I've had a traumatic dream) "That was just a dream. That was NOT REAL. These feelings are from something that was not real" It seems to help to some extent.
Thx TC.....for letting me look at allowing myself to be 'down' & allowing myself to accept love & caring support from others!! And it makes me feel nice to know you printed stuff I wrote. I know I've printed stuff others have written, so it feels like an honour that you did that!!
And thx Jay....for sharing your pain & what you've learned from it.
:-) Kath
