[QUOTE="YogiLori, post: 762767, member: 30044"] Interesting. Everyday I read the Courage to Change book. It is an Al-Anon daily reading. Today's reading was on the 7th step. And, it is exactly what I am feeling. I am an intense feeler - very emotional person - so sensitive - a HSP (highly sensitive person) Anyway, I look at this as a shortcoming. It's bad that I am so sensitive cause I walk around like a wounded bird. Self pity is not going to help me. So this book is saying I need to feel all my feelings and I am crying and then let them go. Maybe if I start accepting myself and my enormous emotions and feelings, I will accept who others are - like my son for example. I don't know, I am only on Step 1, so I have to figure it out. It is very hard for me to get in touch with my higher power and to trust it. I guess thats what the whole step process is.......I'm tired.....tired of thinking too much and wishing everything were different......Stay present. My stream of conscious message is where my mind is now. Knowing what I am feeling is wrong, and trying to change it......exhausting work! [/QUOTE]
