Nightmares. Haunted is the kind of feeling I have from them. And hunted....

Hesitant, yet eagerly anxious.
The hesitant part wants to go ahead and decide that it's simply too far to drive each week, especially that late in the evening, it will be way too uncomfortable, it will have too many food, drink, and scent triggers, and I should just stay in my comfort zone with my already familiar tool box.
The eagerly anxious part wants to dive in head first, share what hurts my heart, talk about what's helped heal some of the deepest cuts, learn where I'm still deeply wounded, and just ride the waves of energy as best I can. May some semblance of balance arrive in that arena.
I used to create and facilitate many different therapeutic groups in my past professional life, but tonight, I'll be attending my first ever support group for survivors of domestic/sexual violence as a participant. May I successfully deflect the rapid-fire self-sabotaging thoughts and notions coming my way in hopes of getting my nerves to settle and embrace this day.

I feel deep and undeniable loss...
....and I also feel unspeakable brotherly love,
...............as well as hope, faith, and optimism, which I find strange as usually when grieving I feel depressed and hopeless, sad and pessimistic....
....methinks someone, somewhere, is praying for me.

I'm really sorry for your loss @Lionheart777 <3
I just had a kind of meltdown I guess. Much calmer now thank goodness. I can feel the after effects in my body now. Arms and legs coursing with energy. Tension in back and shoulders. Some sadness and a bit numb.
I am going to step up self care and take extra care of myself for a while.

Relief, gratitude, and excitement. The support group was more like a support triangle, lol, but felt incredibly welcoming, comfortable, and safe, and I met the most interesting individual with many similar interests and visions. Bonus! Looking forward to sharing space weekly and helping each other as best we can through this thing called life. Damn glad I went.

Feeling annoyed with how embarrassed and ashamed I am that I started taking Xanax and it's awesome and I want to take it again today to stop this depression.
Scared the Lexapro isn't working well right now (just started it, doc is saying maybe go every other day to see if side effects are lessened)

YES - I feel really guilty and jealous and angry b/c my friend entered a writing contest after I told her about it and she got chosen for the next round and I didn't and I just want to lay down and die once more. (don't worry no suicidal ideation here, just really bummed b/c this is my life dream, plus getting married, and she is not only married to this good looking Christian doctor and lives in this gorgeous house, but I might be about to get evicted so maybe feeling murderous is more like it...)
Do you mind if I ask which meds? I just started this meds journey and it's terrifying for me. You can email me privately if you don't want to say! FEELING: trepidation for my own meds journey
This is the most amazing post Iv'e seen all day!!!!! I'm so curious!!!! Maybe show a few of us privately if you're not ready? FEELING: Excited and inspired
Yep. Another panic attack today so I feel exhausted, sleep-deprived, shaky and too wired to sleep but not wanting to take another xanax.
