thank you bipolar bear, you have given me some things to think about. a lot of things have been going on inside of my mind and maybe things are about to expand externally too.
i ran across some information online here that i think may help, something i had never thought of before. there is a book called something like "the highly sensitive person". i think this book is going to give me some new info and perspective on how to better accomplish self-care for me and my alts. i ordered the book and workbook, used online from amazon.com and it makes sooo much sense to me. i was derided for sensitivity as a child and my family sort of tried to slap the "weakness" out of me.
i honestly think that i have been too harsh with myself, attributing my sensitivity to weakness, lack of recovery, character flaws. plus i am very excited by another book on a related subject that may explain some things about my youngest daughter that have puzzled me her whole life and puzzled her too. it is sort of related, the book is "too hard, too bright, too loud, too tight" - what to do if you are sensory defensive. i am so happy i ran across this because she and i have privately been discussing her traits that we thought were vaguely "autistic" and they fit into this books explanation. so we both may get some psych. insight and relief for Christmas this year...LOL!
i am so happy about this that i am sort of giddy about this - of course that may also be because i have missed my last two nights of sleep because phil is gone. i am never really relaxed when he leaves the country....silly me.
ok, i'm off my rant and blathering now. it's nice to be happily rambling on for a change. have a good tuesday!!!
leslie and happy pixies !
