Glad to see you back and posting. Hang in there. Things have a way of working themselves out in the long run. I know you can pull through this.

That was quite a sobering post. It does make one think. Life isn't a video game, you can just turn your feelings and thoughts off.

You know me, and you know I've been there, you let me stay with you and your family for a while when I was going through it.
I buried myself in books and PC games and I worked temp jobs and day labor to survive. It does get better, even though I can't say I'm back yet, I can say I'm getting better, been a loooooong hard road (over 12 years now).

You might want to find a new doctor and get your meds checked, as I know epilepsy runs in your family, your mother's sister has it, not saying you do, just to get another opinion.

Btw, I had to laugh out loud when I read where you had to do the dishes, I remember in Cali, a time when you would throw them away before you would wash them (and I'm not talking about paper plates).

Praying for you, get right with God, get better, keep fighting the good fight, and the only way you loose is suicide.
always a friend

well, i would say that rest is important. i know when i am stressed i don't sleep. i toss and turn and think about THINGS all too much. Nothing gets solved and nothing gets better, it is just going around in a circle. Sleep will let your unconscious mind handle all those things that your subconscious mind thinks about. A way to cope i think i read somewhere.

like if you dream about tornadoes then your life is out of control and your mind trys to deal with it while you sleep.

so maybe sleeping isn't a bad thing? and this of course is just my opinion.

and you feel your son should be in your life? does your new counselor agree?

It is true that sleep is importon for working out problems but not during the day when life happens

of course he does. the fight was a big misunderstanding caused by me running into the kitchen instead of calming walking. He thought I was after his mother and I thought the same about him we both learned a lesson. all I know is I want my smile back. Survival teaches us lessons us in all forms we just have to listen and learn.

Glad to see you posting.

Glad for the clarification about the turmoil.

Glad you are in therapy.

If the therapist is not a good match--search until you find one who is.

Exercise whatever choices in therapy feel fitting for you. No need to swallow everything the therapist says hook line and sinker.

Blessings,

PLEASE find a counselor who matches your personality, goals, methods etc. and who's skilled at practical working through stuff in tangible effective ways and degrees.

It's OK to ask counselors about themselves, their methods, success rates etc.

Forgiveness and letting go are for you.

The person(s) being forgiven may or may not care about you or your forgiveness.

However, the alternative is a corrosive poison that eats your life out from within.

You NOR YOUR SON NEED THAT.

Forgiveness is MOSTLY A DECISION.

It may have to be a repeated decision many dozen times a day for several days or even weeks . . . to

DECLARE that you forgive the other person and yourself . . . and

TO REFUSE to dwell mentally on the unforgiveness etc.

Repeatedly making that choice does drain off the poison and translate into authentic emotionally felt forgiveness at some point.

Forgiveness also

means you have to

RESIGN

as ALL KNOWING DETECTIVE, PROSECUTING ATNY, JUDGE, JURY AND EXECUTIONER.

Only God is perfect enough to manage that kind of judgment and mete out the proper consequences. Besides,

HE DECLARES it is HIS TURF.

So, our ownly mentally and spiritually healthy option is TO LET IT ALL GO--INTO HIS HANDS--HOWEVER, WHATEVER--LET IT GO.

Interestingly, I've observed in life, that when I've done that--then God is somehow freer to work in the other person's life to bring a fitting learning and adjustment.


Praying for you, pulling for you.
