[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 683845, member: 19522"] Hi YF. You are not whiny, you are uncomfortable and tired of dealing with the situation, you love your son and you are stuck. I remember stuck. I didn't want to go home anymore, because my home became a war zone. Just stuck, sick and tired of it, but unable to move. Stuck. It was awful. The more I had to deal with the drama, the less I wanted to, then eventually I had to do something about it. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. It takes time to process things and get out of stuck. Here is what I think, YF, just the fact that you are here posting tells me that you are looking for solutions. That is movement. Thinking about it is movement. Seeking answers is a way to get unstuck. [I]So, you are doing something. But.....[/I] When everything is closing in on you and you are feeling so anxious and desperate, try to take a step back for awhile. Shift your focus on something that relaxes you. That's what I do. Take a walk. Do something physical that you enjoy. Or go to a quiet spot to clear your mind. It is hard to fix a problem, when all you can think about, is the problem. When your mind is running you around in circles, you are so anxious, tired and desperate how can anyone make a decision? Stop thinking about it. When you come back to it, [I]it will still be there. [/I] Sometimes the mind just needs a break. [I][/I] Best advice, ever. Go slow, keep it simple. Sounds like you are over-thinking, awfullizing, writing the end of the story. Take some deep breaths and take a break....... leafy [/QUOTE]
