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......

I'll try what you say...it's not that easy though.

If not for you I wouldn't have anyone... thank you
