[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 426155, member: 7948"] It's hard to write coherently when you are really anxious and feel overwhelmed. When I'm feeling that way it's like I'm in a tunnel with a train coming at me. I can see the train's light and I KNOW I'm about to get run over. Again. And there's no escape. Horrible feeling. I'm glad you have a therapist. Maybe a consult with a psychiatrist is in order? Some medication support might be appropriate. Just a thought. As for posts - they don't bother me but they are pretty jumbled and defensive a lot. I don't think anyone means for you to feel criticized exactly. Just wanting something more than a free form stream of consciousness kind of posting. If you want to structure your posts more thoughtfully, maybe you should write them up as word docs and save them before posting. Then give it a few hours, go back and read what you wrote and see if you still want to post it that way or if you want to make some changes. I think you are so in the moment that it's very hard to get perspective enough to write and post "real time" in a coherent way. I completely understand this. been there done that. Waiting to post something I wrote has worked for me so that's why I suggested it. Often just getting things out onto a page is what I needed and I don't post or post most of what I wrote. I'm sorry your life has been so hard this past year. Breathe is good advice. Exercise like taking a walk also helps me a lot. I focus on what's around me - flowers, trees, birdsong, the wind - I focus on grounding myself in the reality outside my head. And it really does help me. Hugs, Patricia [/QUOTE]
