[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 415045, member: 11235"] Sorry- I know it sucks and the worry is never ending. When I get nuts over the situation I throw myself into some project. Lately this has been myself and I have lost 65 pds. over the past year:happy:, so good for me. Right now I'm challenging myself when I take hikes. For example, I usually walk this one trail the easier way, but now every other day I walk the hard way which is all uphill (like dealing with-my difficult child!) and very steep. At first I had to stop and rest when I did it, but now I just plough right up it. It's good for me and it gives me a sense of accomplishment when I do it. It keeps my mind off my worries about Kat and puts the focus on me where it needs to be. Plus it makes me tired and helps me sleep, which is always a bonus. On the one hand, I'm fortunate because it's just me so I can devote myself to doing what I want or need to do. On the other hand, it's just me which means there is nobody to share the burden. But keeping myself engaged and busy is the only way I stay sane. And while I'm fairly detached, we all have good and bad days. Plus detachment, like all things in life, is done in stages. It's a skill that strengthens over time and with practice. Do something challenging and fun just for you. You deserve it! [/QUOTE]
