[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 562834, member: 13542"] Well, you mastered your worry thoughts for awhile, that's very, very good. It takes time, this all takes time and in between you feel what you described in your last post, worry and grief and loss. I wish I would wave a magic wand over you and make the pain go away, but, like most things in life, the only way out is through...... You mentioned that he's good at making friends, good at making folks feel sorry for him, that he's resourceful, he found his way to the shelter last night, ..........so by all accounts, you are not dealing with a fool who'll freeze on a cold street corner. He has certainly found a place to stay and is likely warm and fed. You have a headache and you're in a state of fear..............perhaps all of that for no reason, he may be just fine, just out of touch. And, as I always think, if anything really did happen, you would likely be one of the first ones to find out. Right now, nothing has changed, everything is OK as far as you know.........there is no reason to panic, worry or be afraid, you simply don't know exactly where he is. He could be laughing with a new friend now, not hungry..............he could be resting on a cot in a shelter, warm and safe...........not out in the street...........he may be drinking hot cocoa right now, not walking the streets cold and hungry............and all your worry will have been for naught and you will have lost hours, days, maybe weeks, months and at some point, even years of your own life................ It is such a hard road, I understand, take some deep breaths, push the thoughts out of your head, there is nothing you can do tonight, try to relax your mind, body spirit and remember to stay right here in the moment. Try to let the fear go, every time you breathe out breathe out fear and worry, and every time you breathe in, breathe in peace, calm, ease & comfort, ......practice that daily a few times a day.............when we're afraid we breathe in a shallow way which doesn't allow enough oxygen and causes many restrictions in our body and mind. Deep breathing actually has many benefits and one is it helps to get us calmed down and works in many ways to make us feel better. Breathe......................Those of us who've been in your shoes are holding you in our collective mothers arms so that you can feel safe and peaceful..............just imagine that and go rest.............HUGS............
