i guess for me, i learned to dissociate to deal with the emotional pain... it was a useful tool at the time i guess...

ive realized now how i need to re-connect, in real life and here at PC with you all... i'm not very good at it tho... i've missed so many of you alls' posts and it must seem like i dont care... but i do...

i hope you all are doing good enuf today, but i lknow some days just arent like that...

sending you all hugs..

((((((everyone))))))))

Yes, I have trouble with that too; the habit of not connecting.

Hope you're doing well, nowhere {{{nowheretorun}}}

I understand what you are saying about feeling disconnected! I feel that way alot. Especially with dissociating.

I know that you care, but sometimes we need to work on ourselves and that is OK....

I went thru a disoriented phase for a few years during a difficult separation.
Since then I found i can detatch quite easily - if I feel it's a survival thing.

Sometimes I do it too much, and end up alienating myself.
It's good to make connections and keep those close we trust and care about.

I have felt your presence on PC since my arrival as your words are powerfully honest, I think.
You use them well.

I appreciate your posts very much and look forward to whatever it is you have to say.

I hope you feel cared about, because you are!

peace and love.
nightbird

((((((BJ ))))))))))) you are absolutely right about that... sometimes i think i forget about my own weaknesses and think i've made it all the way out of the depressive cycle, but, it is only silently sleeping... at times like those the value of PC for me is priceless... re-associating

((((muffy )))))) always there for me..... re-associating

((((((nightbird)))))))) its funny i think how often i read a persons posts and i feel like i know them somehow but we've hardly ever spoke.... we are like that nightbird, cause i like your position about a lot of things... you have given kindness to my friends in times of need, and today to me...

yes, trust is certainly an issue... i know we cant trust everyone but because of good people like you, people like me can learn to trust again

you matter .... thanks for being here.. re-associating

oh, thank you so very much.

I've been feeling alienated again, and your post has been supportive to me.

thanks ... thank you again for seeing me.

peace and love your way,
nightbird

there are pretty wonderful meditative videos on www.relaxation.com if anyone is interested. there is a series of them that are so well done, it's really engaging.

((((((((((((((((((((((NWTR)))))))))))))))))))))))) Sometimes we need time to heal especially if we are disconnecting from our pain. I understand and will be here when you are ready recognizing that you have cared all along.

(((nightbird)))) its hard feeling alienated.... its especially hard when you know you want a connection to a better thing and when you look around sometimes there is no ones' hand to take or no shoulder to lean on... its really hard if you are trying to build your foundations and there seems little solid ground.. i know how that feels.... you are very kind and wise to use the relaxation techniques... ive used them myself and in times when there didnt seem to be others, in those relaxing times, i was able to find those parts of myself that needed soothing and the music or words or even silence was able to reach those spots and give cool soothing peacefulness to me.... thank you for sharing those with us, and yes, you do matter very much....

((((BB)))))) thank you for those kind words... it means a lot to me that you believe that about me... yes, i always have cared and within my own funk i was trying to find ways to break out of this isolation.... thank you for being a friend and being here now, best to you always... you matter very much also..

re-associating to you all...
