“The past is gone, the future is not yet
here and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we
cannot be in touch with life”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh ~
Melissa.recovering, try to taking one thing at a time, look into the future, yes things are difficult, but you can't stay in a shell forever, let yourself out and walk around. Try talking about really wanting a "safety net" before you leave. before I left, I made sure that i had a complete "safety net" set in place or else I wouldn't leave. Now it's 4 years later and I'm doing much better, yes I do still have a safety net, but I'm letting it go one piece at a time, just get it in place first. I will now be going into an internship at a psychiatric residential treatment facility for social work and things have long changed now. Trust me, over time, you will recover and things do get better over time. PM me sometime, I'd love to chat. I just set up a new blog forum and it's an interactive one where I go one 2-3 times daily. Feel free to post whenever you like. I have skills help focus topics with reading passages, then skills practice after, you leave your comments and I reply and post feedback/a new page regarding that topic. I also take requests about topics.

"To dwell in the here and the now does not mean you never think about the past or responsibility, plan for the future. The idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about past or worries about the past or worries about the future. If you are firmly in the present moment, the past can be an object of inquiry, the object of your mindfulness by looking into the past, but you are still grounded in the present moment"
