Febreeze is the worst poison out there.

I’m going to take my tiger balm with me and put some under my nose. That should block the smell.

I know what you mean!! I so want off meds, but I just can’t. I thought I was doing ok with my sleeping pills, but ran out early and caught royal hell from the pharmacy. Well, I just stripped my bedding to wash it and there were about 10 sleeping pills under my duvet. I have no idea how I did...

How are you doing today @Disco Dancing Queen ?

I ordered $300 of pots from Birch Lane. And a beautiful duvet cover. I didn’t order them. I have a plan for my container plantings. I have some unique caladium bulbs coming. My plant area is the north side. Almost zero sun there. Last year I started using foliage color instead of trying to get...

I am doing better. I watched a Tara Brach talk on grief and loss. It was helpful. My friend sister sent me a few things of Karen’s. I wanted to cry, but I believe I’ve dried up. The pain in the heart has disappeared. I’m working, kinda slow, but not giving up. Take good care and I think a little...

Your sister sent me a box of mementos of you. So thoughtful and kind. She gave me your elves!! I will carry on your adventures with them, posing them around SF and posting the pix. Always made me smile! Reiki brought you into the room again, but I still can’t feel you. I’m sorry. Please keep...

@SpiritSong How are you doing?

I received a box in the mail today from Karen’s sister. She sent me mementos of Karen with a lovely note and payer cards from her service. How thoughtful and kind. I got her elves that she would place around the city and post the pix on Facebook. She gave me Karen’s respirator and a crazy...

@Sideways i have considered that possibility. My t has not been very helpful with my intense grief. All he said was loss makes us revisit other losses we’ve had and that I have had a large amount of losses in my life. He hasn’t given me any advice as to how to bring myself out of the depression...

Yes it really does!! That’s good ideas @UnicornSightings i was poisoned by chemicals at work in the 90’s and it damaged my lungs, brain and immune system. I react to anything that is off gassing. The grocery store is probably the worst place for chemical fumes because everything has perfume in it.

I wear masks everywhere. But not to therapy. I’ve been thinking I have to wear one there, too. Disappointing that it can’t be a safe place for me. Thank you for the idea. I never feel like anyone would take me seriously if I’m wearing a mask. When I fly, people move away from me. When I’m in a...

I’ve been going to my current therapist for many years. Not sure exactly how many. At least 6 or 7. Almost every week. The building is old and very worn out.his office is not visually serene. The couch is so old, he has a large bedspread over it with old pillows on top. I let all this go because...

I study Buddhism. I work energetically with a Shaman. I did not believe much of what was preached in my Protestant Church. And it certainly did not give me a sense of security or community.

When I finish up with a client and they say “where were you, you never said a word” or “you completely forgot to do my right eyebrow” or telling a client to fill out a history form and they say “I was just here last week and I filled the form out in January”

#1-co back into therapy. Your life story is ripe with traumatic experiences. Memory is a tricky thing. It is my belief that women don’t have false memories about sexual abuse. What you need are some skills to even you out and when it’s time and you feel safe, you can put that memory on stage and...

@Disco Dancing Queen i, too, have been fractured lately. Sudden loss of a dear friend, abandoned by my shrink, reacting to noxious fumes in my therapists office that makes it an unsafe place. In a word, overwhelmed. I’ve been watching some Tara Brach and this one has been particularly helpful...

Ground you NOT hound you!!

“awakening Through Change and Loss” a talk by Tara Brach on YouTube is a video that has been helping my own grief journey. Perhaps it can hound you and give you some ways to process it.

I am sorry you lost a good friend and client. There’s ups and downs. I never cried before my friend died and when it finally broke through it has been cathartic. Everyone’s grief takes its own path. Pamper yourself. He sounds like a guy who would want that for you.

Today was better finally I had a good nights sleep. My meds are back to normal. I’m prepared for fluctuations in my mood. Of course, I’m not looking forward to it. My reiki master saw her briefly with a party hat on. I wish I could evolve into a person that can perceive energetic and...
