Can I add flowers to this sanctuary of WC's .. ? :):inlove:
@Ronin , don't know if it's helpful, but what I do (because they all say to go where there are people, but malls, even coffee shops can be too much for me), is I go to a R.Catholic church. I am RC, but just speaking for those, because that's all I know, many are open long hours, usually there are people who come and go, or stay a long time (esp if trying to maintain sobriety, or such). The thing is, you can walk all over, get up, sit down, go to the back, the front, light a candle, sit, go outside, come back. I say prayers or say prayers for the people who are saying their prayers, for their needs. Nobody butts in/ questions, normally. Also they say an RC Mass is good for ADHD people because you're always moving, up down etc. :laugh: But really, they don't care who you are or what you believe. Often downtown churches are open a lot too. Really uncommon and sort of not the place for SI or self-harming actions.
Also it helps me to walk, so instead of down the highway ( :rolleyes: ) a better choice would be the zoo, or common attractions (but I would avoid bridges).
I don't think you should be angry at yourself for posting, I think that is progress. Supposedly we are to say 3-7 nice things to ourself for every insult; I couldn't keep up. Seriously. :(
Hugs to you and I think you would/ Will make a phenomenal doctor. :hug:
