Not Coping, Head Fit To Burst

[Teasel]

Still not coping. I spent years writing things down. I can't do that anymore. It's too painful, there's just so much relentless pain and writing it down is too overwhelming. Too much of a crippling downward spiral.
I feel such a desperate need to connect but am too terrified to risk it.

Sorry to hear that, Berlinda.

I know I sometimes get really stuck in my head....ruminating, journalling, thinking, analysing, remembering, reframing...all of it starts from a good place of intention (most of the time, anyway) but I think it sometimes makes me spiral deeper into the difficult/negative feelings. And at those times, I sometimes find it helpful to do something physical (I don't necessarily mean hardcore exercise!) so that I get out of my head and more into my body...seems to lessen the intensity somehow. Don't know if that might be relevant/helpful for you?

Is there anyone in particular you want to connect with?
