I'm dealing with it by playing Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp too much (and drinking too much which makes me wake up in the middle of the night and play Pocket Camp more).Cedarwaxwinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644657373513518914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3361958335644500325.post-29561841312861712202020-07-19T07:42:28.248-07:002020-07-19T07:42:28.248-07:00You're so right about "This shit is hard....You're so right about "This shit is hard."

I found writing really helped me figure things out, so I'm glad you are writing now. I realised as I was writing that everything that had helped me was a form of CBT too. We can't change the past. We can change what we do now.<br /><br />I'm also glad to see you say, "Being kind to oneself. Seeing oneself and letting go of judgment." (Despite the lack of an "e" in judgement- lol) Because the thing that has helped me most in the last few years was being kind to myself. Showing myself the same compassion I would show a friend, or even more importantly, a child or teenage Mali. I'd just hug her and love her. That helped me more than I would ever have expected. Try it.<br /><br />And I'm sending love and hugs too.<br />Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836580783987031975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3361958335644500325.post-58379094191021255102020-07-16T16:40:09.357-07:002020-07-16T16:40:09.357-07:00B, I think the Great British Bake-Off AND drinking...B, I think the Great British Bake-Off AND drinking at the same time is a perfect combination!Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836580783987031975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3361958335644500325.post-27482693347251497112020-07-16T13:54:46.074-07:002020-07-16T13:54:46.074-07:00CBT has done good things for me, but I have to pra...CBT has done good things for me, but I have to practice it, and boundaries, like people practice yoga, and I get out of practice just when I need it most. I saw this sort of change you talk about it in reading. I belong to a "book club" on facebook which is actually just some moms from the grade school who read what we want and then take a picture of the cover and say if it's worth trying. There's like 8 of us on there and from March to June only like 2 of us finished a single book. Then I read Outlander, which I liked, but is not my typical choice. We all started to realize we needed things that were different than what used to work. I don't know what it is, but I'm both paralyzed and restless at the same time. Worried about the future, brooding over the past, and dark voices seem to get caught in my head at night (not like I'm hearing voices, but just thoughts). It's no bueno. So I go rewatch the Great British Baking Show and drink too much. Sometimes at the same time.Sally Bridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888582125823088850noreply@blogger.com
