[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 53614, member: 2315"] Heather, I am in total agreement with Fran. I do understand how things can pile up and you just go numb. I think that alot if it is protective but I also see that you are concerned and uncomfortable with how you feel. When I was very sick a few years back and had three operations in an 18 month period and no help from anyone. I told my mom over the phone how it was so overwhelming for me to just deal with the everyday stuff let alone the major issues that the difficult child's in my life kept piling on. She told me to prioritize and just try to accomplish one thing on my list every day. I did and eventually I got some control of my life back. The emotional numbness is now very selective. It usually manifests in dealing with the difficult child's in my life. Yoga and meditation help me also. I also try to set aside time everyday to be reflective and appreciate some small thing in my life. A bird singing in a tree outside my window, a pretty garden that I pass along my way. It helps me keep my perspective. My husband and my difficult child's got me into financial distress also. I sold my home and bought a less expensive one. It has the potential to be even more than the one I sold ( we are working on it constantly and enjoying it) The best part is that I am now back on good solid finacial ground. And I got to keep my vacation home which I love. -RM [/QUOTE]
