Jay, my sweet.......I am going to ask you a favour........when you speak of feeling worthless, powerless and without a good basis of existing, I would like you to try and not use defeatist language when talking to yourself.......when you say I am powerless, you are saying I am afraid that I will not feel power. when you say I am worthless, You are saying I am afraid I will never feel worth.......you are using languge that DEFEATS you before you even begin.......How do you KNOW for ABSOLUTE certainty that you will never feel these things......Echoes kind of made that point somewhere earlier. thanks Echoes.

Feeling fear, disempowerment, worthlessness and all those other things are a familiar part of the terrain, for most of us.......but as part of your healing, state how you REALLY feel, but follow up with a statement like "But this is NOT forever", "Things are in flux and change constantly", " I am a human being that is important, I will accept that I will feel differently tomorrow. I may feel better, I may feel worse, but I shall unconditionally accept and MOVE through it and BREATHE".

You may not believe these statements but that is not the exercise, the exercise is in the SAYING until you do believe.

Sweets, you are a brave, intelligent, deeply caring human being.......the rage IS part of the illness, because I know it IS NOT PART OF YOU!!!

Trust me on that.......

In stillness......
