Im just having such a bad day that I have been taking stuff and I realized that this place is probably a place I should make the effort to clear that comment up.> "stop thinking and allow yourself to just be. Slow down." What he meant was that I was anxious, then engaging in catastrophic thinking, which only panicked me more. He told me to give myself permission to let go of the responsibility I felt toward everything and just "be" for now. Don't take any actions, don't make any decisions.
hes right, and I do need to stop thinking too. Im so fast Im moving a mile a minute and Im thiking just as fast if not faster. I feel like Im having heart and breathing problems, Im sure I wont die or anything but Im definatley feeling things. At this point the dscisions are out of my hands...so so frustrating. I just don tunderstand why people hurt themselves so much...its hard for me to grasp this, I guess Im hurting myself by allowing it to get to me but different...i just dont understand how a person can do these things :-( All I want is some silence, calmness for more than a few days, I want to be off high alert. It cant be healthy living like this...> And he said that because he knew I was feeling extremely overwhelmed.
are you feeling better today?
> For me, it means, refuse to react. It means, act after having a chance to rationally think about a situation instead of reacting with chaos and panic.
Im definatly not thinking rationally, Im biting EVERYONES head off, Im way way too stressed and overwhellmed.
> I'm sure that if you take prescribed meds correctly (or have a slow glass of wine after dinner- one glass) you can manage to slow your thoughts down until you can decide not to react.GReat Idea!! why didnt I think of that? A glass of wine would help so much. And probably better for me, more natural anyway.
> Does any of that help you? It helped me, but I realize that we are not the same person...
It helps so much Sunny. It helps knowing that there is someone there who understands, because not many do, and everything you say makes so much sense and gets me thinking. thanks
