Re: not coping

I'm really trying to control my thoughts and my actions @Jynx I know I need to just let them wash over me but it is hard sometimes.

I have six days and counting until I see my psych. It's been about 8 weeks since she went away.

Re: not coping

Glad you are relaxing @outlander You've had a busy day.

Both kids are at work. I'm hoping H will pick them up so I can go to bed early.

He knows things haven't been good for me.

Re: not coping

@outlander just workin, hanging out w my kitty cats. Might play some solo D&D later 😊 You?

@Snowie Mmm it is hard. I was introduced to the concept of 'surrender' to help w this. Unfortunately I don't have any resources for it off the top of my head but could be worth a google.

Wow that's a long break! Those six days might be both the slowest crawl of time ever, and also fly right past you. I hope it's a good first session back 💜

Re: not coping

Just the two @outlander - both mischeivous lil rascals. Yeah Dungeons & Dragons! You get to come up with a character and then role play as you run around a fantasy world. Very fun - for me anyway lol

Re: not coping

It has been a long break @Jynx @outlander considering that I normally see her fortnightly.

It has been a hard journey. I think the next 6 days will go slowly. Nothing has gone fast.

@Jynx I have never heard of 'surrender' I will try and look it up.
