ruminating on your illness

Thank you for your words @wordman. I’m getting better at catching my negative thoughts as they arise but there are still days where I ruminate and end up exhausted. Anxiety and depression are my battles. I will try the blackboard exercise and continue with my mindfulness. Thanks 🙏

Hello my dear @Krishna - seems like I haven't seen you around for a while.

Hugs to you and hope you are travelling okay despite the challenges.

@Krishna Hello Krishna. You understand the negative effects of ruminating. I am pleased to hear of this. When you do the blackboard excercise, don't forget that when you wipe off all the negative aspects of your life you are being rid of them forever. Keep the faith.

Kind Regards

Wordman

Hello @tyme Yes haven’t been on the forums as often as usual. Some days better than others and trying my best to look after myself. We’re coming up to 3 years without my girl in my life and Xmas time still poses a lot of grief for myself and my husband. Although we are heading away this week to catch up with friends and family which will be lovely. Will be driving right past my girls address but would rather we didn’t call in. So close yet so far. I receive the occasional txt from her asking for money but nothing more. I have been seeing a psychologist to help with the emotional pain and doing short meditations and micro mindfulness techniques throughout the day when my thoughts overwhelm. It just plain hurts. 🙏
