What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

[Marie E.]

Anxious about my breath test for this afternoon, but not really a thing to worry about as it can't hurt me and I have to live up to my responsibilities of being on probation for a reason, though it is not the worst case scenario.

Correction....If I'm totally honest, I'm not really frustrated with this forum, I'm frustrated with myself.

I keep coming here,searching for answers and hoping to find the magic cure. Always hoping I will stumble across a thread that will give me that lightbulb moment that will be a turning point in my life. Frustrated that it hasn't happened yet. I've had lots of lightbulb moments, but not THE moment,

Frustrated because i know the answers aren't in this forum. Frustrated because I actually expected them to be. Frustrated that it took me so long to realize this. Frustrated because I know it's time to move on and work what i've learned here yet I keep coming back.

You have to build a strong secure life for yourself. Otherwise every time your sufferer pushes you away, for what ever reason, it will keep on knocking you down.

You have to learn to dodge the knocks for your own sanity. Either get off now or learn how to ride this Roller Coaster, or it will keep dumping you off and leaving you in the ditch.

It is up to you to handle this better for your own sake, you roll with it, or walk away. You are responsible for your own mental health.

Very wise words, Amethist, thank you. I know that by tomorrow I'll be back to my usual self. Having found this forum and really taken some things to heart to ponder, I have stirred up my own "stuff" and am now trying to reconcile it all with caring for my sufferer. I've rocked the boat and it will take a while to re-stabilize.

I decided some time ago that I was not going to just abandon him (like everyone else in his life did) but see it through to the best conclusion we can reach. Whether that's as his close companion or just an arm's length friend is still being determined and really has little to do with achieving the outcome.

Meanwhile it's useful to have think about precisely what it is I am feeling, and to consider the wise counsel from others who are walking this path. ((Amethist))

Dear IA, I think much of these feelings begin with the feeling of being hurt. I'm sorry it's so difficult.
-Hugs-

Dear Jadebear, I feel exactly as you do, Hugs.

In fact, so many people need hugs 'today'- ((((Hugs)))) to all (Iam You too, -of course, xoxox)

Warm, It is 4.50pm and I've just gotten out of bed after a 2 hour rest/nap. Snuggly duvet and cherry stone pillow
