[QUOTE="slsh, post: 513516, member: 8"] MWM - you nailed it right on. How I got to this place really doesn't matter - most of it's done and over, aside from my struggle in coping with- caring for Boo. What seems practical to me is learning how to emotionally manage how things are *now*. Well, okay, my first goal of therapy was getting to a place where I wasn't seeing my death as the solution to all my problems. But moving past that, then what? It's just been in the last couple of weeks I've been able to define that I want to learn acceptance of how things are. It's the serenity prayer all over again. I want to accept, but not out of hopelessness. My therapist said something last week that really rocked my world - the definition of suffering is wanting things to be different than the way they are. Some things I might be able to change, but I think the very core causes of my self-imposed "suffering" can't be. So I'm working now on making peace, without anger and resentment. [/QUOTE]
