[QUOTE="Jena, post: 417394, member: 4514"] sorry i'm sure your dad's funeral will be difficult, yet it will also bring you closure. which is a good thing. as far as a mental breakdown you aren't having one.... if you were you wouldn't be able to post here at all, youd be in the corner rocking back and forth for most the day, or just kinda spacing out more than not. at least tha't what i hear their like. i think in all honesty and yea i'm going to be blunt, you asked and it's what i'd tell myself and have the past year of torture i've lived through... forget the past, let it go. take all you have written wish it well take a nice walk with that adorable dingo dog of yours and have yourself a little renewal ceremony of you. stand there yes all the writing of your past, and say good bye to it all bring matches light it up and watch it burn and disengrate into the sky.... letting go of the past is what you need to do. that will leave room for opening your heart and mind to the future. it's one small step, than another, than another and so on....... when life pushes you you gotta push back. i don't think it's so much what happens to us that defines our inner selves it's how we work thru it and process it. matt will find his way, you need to let him do that also.... truly. he sounds very smart. you need to find your way now. sit down tongiht with- a cup of tea or whatever it is you drink and write a bucket list. a list of everything you'd like to do, everywhere youd like to go....... hang it on a wall within view in your room. than each day wake up, when the tears start to come plant those feet on the ground and tell yourself your in the drivers seat, control your own mind. your amazingly smart and highly capable of doing this. do one thing each day that makes you happy. i dont' care what it is, it could be digging a hole whatever.......... point is slowly bring back the joy into your life you deserve and you will slowly find your way. push yourself to go ahead and be happy you deserve it, we all do, regardless of our pasts. it's past tha'Tourette's Syndrome the KEY word past. let it go and be where it belongs in the past. your spending so much time in the past how could you possibly have a bright future? go to a library there and rent out a yoga dvd also for beginner's, or go to the store and buy one. it's amazingly healing and theraputic and also will kick those endorphins up and put you in a better way. make a routine for each day, just like we do for our kids when their hurting and a bit lost in the moment. stick to the routine, including (1) good thing to do a day that makes you happy. not the dog, or matt or this guy who seems like he's exiting your life now. just you. i'd also go to your doctor and check your medications, you are taking alot of them you say? ok, there could be some side effects of them too. i took an ssri once in my life years ago within two weeks i was invisioning driving my truck into a wall, any wall. listen point is you know you best, and yes i know i dont' always follow my own advice.... yet at this stage of the game the only way your going to make this happen is by doing it. in the afternoon if your feeling that way and the pick me ups and pushing yourself isnt' working call someone, anyone to talk do. key is redirecting your mind. at times i find we all can have distorted thoughts, versions of the truth, how we are perceiving life can be somewhat slanted. if you take the time each day to write ina book (i know you loveeee writing) 4 negative thoughts you had, than write down 4 logical thoughts to replace the negative thoughts... that's what difficult child and i are both doing here in her therapy. yes i do listen and i've been diong it too. therapy for 2 at the price of one LOL. anyway sending you positive thoughts, get going and get moving you have alot to do. stop crying and get out of the past, make way for the future your going to create for you!i bet in a year you will be posting here about some new guy, some new town a new boss you work for, and how matt's doing well. stay positive, stay focused. repeat over and over again i am beautiful, i am amazing, strong woman who is a force to be reckoned with. it's my personal mantra......... now go get making some lists of all you want to do!!! as i always say fake it till you make it. it actually works at times. your unhappy smile anyway, seriously......
