Confronting issues, people, changes, the coming changes - all scary stuff, but you know what? A lot of people choose to not think about the tough stuff, not face it, and find ways to numb and ignore it instead. It takes a brave person to do what you're doing, even if it feels frustrating or impossible while you're in the middle of it. <br /><br />Anyway, just taking a moment here to point out something I hope you're pointing out to yourself on a daily basis? How brave you are to not choose the easy, numb path, and to choose the dynamic one instead.Kyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496930376646300796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-1885378908402128132012-04-17T19:58:02.113-06:002012-04-17T19:58:02.113-06:00I am glad that you found so much value in what eve...I am glad that you found so much value in what everyone had to say. You never know when you post if there is a nugget of anything good in there or not. And I hope that what we sounded off about on sleep is helping. If not, you might try a meditation CD to play. It is something else I do when I cannot sleep because I can't get my inner voice to shut up or my head noise to quiet down. By forcing myself to listen to the meditation CD it relaxes me and knocks me out (as in allows me to sleep). LOL. The CD keeps you focused on a visual and doesn't let your mind drift to troubling thoughts. It is very peaceful. Something else to think about....Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-19914896528658540952012-04-17T16:43:47.506-06:002012-04-17T16:43:47.506-06:00@ val, it seems to be a 'thing' with abuse...@ val, it seems to be a 'thing' with abusers...complete and utter disregard for reality or truth. I find it amazing as well.

And yes, I think that your daughters imminent departure is playing a huge role in bringing all your fears and memories out - change is scary after all and this is a big change. I do know that you will figure it out though. You are solution orientated and resourceful.Hanliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16476650601531649816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-82104590933197206812012-04-16T10:50:05.518-06:002012-04-16T10:50:05.518-06:00Hi Chris -- just to let you know that I read your ...Hi Chris -- just to let you know that I read your blog all the time but usually don't comment because I don't normally think I can be helpful.

It's a good one. We all do things differently. I've stepped back from a lot of social interaction in the last year because I need to make space while I come to terms with certain things. This has nothing to do with depression or shame. Simply a need to protect myself for a period.<br /><br />We all do what we must to restore our lives and live well.<br /><br />I am looking at the photo of the old you. What a long way you have come. You've done a great job of releasing the real you.<br /><br />BlessingsMargieAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591436464085450834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-3486040034108432502012-04-16T04:37:02.920-06:002012-04-16T04:37:02.920-06:00Awesome you and more awesome to come!
