I Realize That I

I realize that even though I'm enjoying talking with the neighbor across the street, I have to watch myself with her as the neighbor who moved is calling her quite a bit.

I realize that it is now in my best interest to be more cautious in participating in conversations about the neighbor who no longer lives here. This neighbor doesn't know how relieved I was when she told me my neighbor next door was moving.
 
I realize that I might need to make some changes in my life. Changes like who I spend my time with and who I don't. And I realize that some of those changes and some of those people might be big changes. And I realize that I'm changing right now. And it kind of makes me want to say to certain people "stand beside me if you want to but don't stand in front of me. I'm recovering and I'll push you out of my way if I have to".
 
I realized this morning that I do not wake up depressed but very tired and go into negative thinking patterns. I did a lot of journaling and discovered that I have to practice being positive in the mornings when I wake up.

I also realized that I am having a identity crises. I spent the last year grieving over the death of my husband and feel that I am waking up into a new reality where I have to make so many changes and it is overwhelming. I am so terrified of the positive changes I have to make and will try very hard to take baby steps.
 
how does one sort out 'relevant fear' (which is true) from not relevant fear? (Not the 'big' or obvious examples- eg 'a tiger in the backyard' :wideeyed:


I realized that at times I may not be as clear as I need to be nor have all of the answers and that's ok. :hilarious:

This was an active FREE site for a CBT Therapy Course from an university in Australia. It can answer some of your questions in a professional manner with solid direction on positive or neutral sorting of feelings and thinking. I did not nor do not teach in that University so it should not be considered self promotion to share.:cool:
