It's not about sui, at all. I guess it's more about wanting to use negative coping skills instead of putting the effort into using the new skills I've learned in therapy. It just feels like SO MUCH sometimes, and when I think about having to try to keep this up for the next 50 or so years, it's overwhelming and exhausting.
Hi Zooropa,

It is SO MUCH sometimes! Why not give yourself a "positive" break? A little mini-vacation from this exhausting journey. Pat yourself on the back for all the effort you have put into your recovery! Maybe, you need some leisure time, some time to yourself so that you can recharge your batteries?

I really can't even imagine doing anything for 50+ years (except to remember to breathe). You've got me beat though. . . I get overwhelmed thinking about what's going to happen in 2 days! Hugs, Laurie
Thanks for this!
