Re: I dont know how I feel

Hi @LostAngel, lots of change and new things on the horizon for you. As you mentioned, even positive change is change, and I really admire that you are giving yourself the time to stop, go gentle and slowly process the changes where you can Heart

 

Some more self care during this time sounds like a much deserved space to just sit and 'be' during this time of change. What have you been doing for self care lately?

Re: I dont know how I feel

hi @Daisydreamer thanks for replying Im currently watching favourite Netflix series,showering everyday, eating regular meals as well as listening to music, currently watching some tennis ,trying to have some alone time but quietly rather than too much noise and over stimulation ,even had a nap this afternoon which was nice, trying to pace myself with driving the new car around ,might visit my fave aunty tomorow afternoon ,havent seen her in person for 6 months

Re: I dont know how I feel

slept well last night,but early this morning alot of pondering ,questioning asking myself wether Im always just running from myself or most things in general,am I avoiding,what does being strong mean to me? have I let my own family influence me too much on matters that I want sole control over? quilt tripping myself ,regret about my actions,overthinking,am safe just meaning actions in relationships,I have a nice new car but that doesnt change the feeling of being alone,what do I think being strong means? it means standing alone,Im an adult I can handle this ect,which brings me to thinking I should just be honest with myself and maybe a little more honest in a one on one conversation with someone close to me,truth be told Im burying my worries during this time of change,and even with good changes have still felt a sense of sadness for some reason,theres also a feeling of wanting to let go of everything old in my life and start new ,strange ,am safe ,material possessions bring some sense of happyness but they never fill the root cause issue underneath hmmm what to do about that ,talk things out as best I can,try to gain some clarity for where Im at and where things are at in general

Re: I dont know how I feel

Dear @LostAngel ,

 

Thank you for your post. I think it's so important to be able to reflect on this points you have raised. It is a very personal reflection on where you currently are and where you want to be.

 

I encourage you to continue reaching out. This is your journey, but I'm sure the community will be happy to walk with you 🙂

 

Take Care,

tyme
