Feeling grateful for the day. Sympathy for Ms Spock and hopeful that you feel better soon. So delighted to be painting again and out in the sun. Strong, thought about, like I exist, feeling balanced and peaceful at the moment.Feeling the therapeutic effects of painting...and healthy from the exposure to sunlight.

I keep tearing my dupa muscle. It hurts. I am tired.

Content from the meal I treated myself to earlier. Warm and lucky for my life.

@DharmaGirl and @Ms Spock how did you manage to feel like a real person? I don't. Ever. I wish I did.

I am feeling inordinately proud of myself because I made a breakthrough last night while I was "meditating" well, maybe just resting actually. I connected a really difficult part of me (one of the ones that does not trust me) to a 6 year old child part. I haven't healed it yet, but I feel very compassionate toward these parts! It's the first time this has happened without a tremendous struggle. It feels really exciting and makes me hopeful that I can do this with other parts too. Yay me!

A bit frazzled and depleted. I feel like all the good energy I gained today in the sun and on the earth has gone down the drain from the last few hours online...but it was nice to feel appreciated by a new male friend who finds me good company, so it was worth it. I'm a bit tired physically now, though mentally I'm still alert.

Excellent news Hope4Now. I'm happy for you that you were able to feel these things and connect with this part of you.

Mother has called off the cancer surgery and is going to take hormone therapy. She decided that she is almost 78 years old and she doesn't want to risk the possibility of not surviving the surgery as she has late stage emphysema! She will take some time and possibly reconsider but for now this is the plan. I feel relieved, but apprehensive.

how did you manage to feel like a real person?

It took me almost 1 1/2 years of therapy twice a week to see myself as a person. I still have moments where I don't. My therapist treated me like a person, honored my boundaries, and reminded me that I was a person. It just takes healing.

I feel very compassionate toward these parts!

Now this is something I have a problem with. I find it hard to be compassionate to my 4 year old or teenager. I hate them for ruining my life. I am working on it and I am learning. I suppose this will come with healing too.

I am feeling a bit cocky since I was able to go to a friend's Mary Kay party. Yay!! Otherwise I'm tired. I would nap but then I won't sleep tonight.

Feeling okay. Feeling love. Feeling I am writing a new story for my neural pathways to go on. Feeling determined. I am going to rewire my brain!

Okay lots of practice Hope4Now. Lots of practice

Getting out of the dissociation, derealization and depersonalisation has been pretty tricky for me.

You start at 10 to 30 seconds a day and you build up from there.
