That's what I am doing, I asked if it felt like being unable to focus and he said, sometimes that and sometimes it is a matter of focusing on something else. He also said tonight that he was afraid that he would fall asleep while talking to me...lol. I won't take it personally...he always says he doesn't want to leave, but his body is making him. I understand that.

awareness therapy, my therapist called it grounding -being aware at all times what things look like feel like, taste like, smell like, sounds like, like right now I am sitting here typing and at the same time paying attention to how the chair I am sitting on feels like, actively hearing anf following my cats snoring and the click of my typing, how the light from the hall way is shining on the screen making a type of rainbow and drinking a glass of strawberry kiwi juice that tastes slightly sour not as much as a lemon and with my foot I am rubbing tmy cats back he feels so soft, hes a manx (tail less) , angora long haired cat..

Now I know you are a kindred spirit! I love cats, I have one myself...a Himalayan and she just happens to be sitting beside me right now as I type, I often reach over and pet her while here. I am listening to her softly snoring...lol.

What you said about being aware is exactly what we all need to do, be present in the moment. Too many people move through life unconciously...sleepwalking, in a sense...so you are doing well to practice being aware of sounds, tastes, smells and touch.

Humor is important in my life as well, I don't know what I would do if I couldn't laugh.
