I have to write this now only you all but for me. So later if I am in an anxious moment I remember what I feel at this very moment. Last night, I went to bed with a plan--a plan of action. My limitation is driving. So, I set out to work on it. I made my plan and went through with it. Also, set up a plan to deal with what I know will accompany me trying to stretch my boundaries—worrying and obsessive thinking. And I made a plan for that to. So today, I woke up feeling down and jittery. But, I accept the feelings and moved forward. I drove around my neighborhood about 15 minutes (alone) and decided I was done. Despite my victory, I still felt down. I let the waves of exhaustion, obsessive thinking wash over me, but I refuse to give in. I got busy. I chatted with my wonderful support group in MWC Chatroom. I helped around the house. And when I still felt the waves of depression, I wrote in my journal and allowed the feelings to speak to me not scare me. I dealt with it but not dwell. And to treat myself, I took a LONG bath—no music, no cell (just in case someone might call)—just me, myself, and I. I let the water wash over me as I had let the feelings earlier wash over me. And I am proud that I am able to share this with you all, I feel content. I am in the moment and it feels great. God bless us all on the journey toward recovery.

Wow!
Great post! I have to agree, being in the moment can be a great thing for everyone! Its like being that calm observer to yourself, detached, but in a way that is peaceful and insightful. "Time past and time future allow but a little consciousness. To be conscious is not to be in time." T.S. Eliot |
