[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 658473, member: 17461"] I'm so sorry this is happening. Sometimes, when we are doing well, there is a part of us that is afraid of the change, afraid we don't deserve those good things that are happening for us, and fears that maybe the good things will be lost. That part of us fights very hard for us to go back to the old, comforting ways. Could it be something like this, do you think? During these times, it can help us if we sit with the feelings, understanding that our anxiety is valid. We are changing, breaking away from the old ways and from the old understandings about who we are and what we are entitled to and where we are going. Brene Brown writes about "leaning in" to the feelings, about being compassionate toward ourselves, because change really is such a hard thing. You can hear her speak on this on TED talks, California. I'm sorry you are feeling badly. You know what? We are all behind you on this. You have made so many good changes for yourself. We are proud and happy for you. Can you just take it one day, one hour at a time? It really is a very hard thing, to change our lives. Cedar [/QUOTE]
