Do you ever feel like you take one step forward and two steps back?
Do you ever feel like you take one step forward and then two steps back? I feel like I have a couple great days, that is for where i am right now and what i am dealing with, like I am making some progress no matter how small but I am moving forward and excited about it, not thinking about the N obsessively but only occasionally and briefly during the day and it does not assualt me as it usually does, I can actually find something funny, actually get out of bed, shower and accomplish the smallest of tasks and feel somewhat close to normal, and then after those couple of great days and I am feeling good about myself, it creeps up on you and you have a bad day where you are thinking about him again, wondering why, missing him, crying, trying to make sense of it when you know darn well its pointless and its just bla, its upsetting and you try to get through the fog but gosh it just holds onto you. My therapist did diagnose me with PTSD and I am in the beginnings of EMDR but how do you get through those 2 steps back days and get back on track so it doesn't consume you?
Yes, Ollie
Yes, exactly, all consuming.
Take yourself through what you need to go through
PARALYZED
Rid yourself of their venom
I have felt paralyzed, they want you immobile, defenseless
Amazed
Why my friends hated my ex-N
'empowered'
Magical thinking is the problem
N & P's are sharks
