I know I need to face reality. Stop the endless clicking on the computer, zoning out... other forms of ignoring what needs to be done.

Been up for 8 hours now, running from the need to write something to bring the therapist (now 4 hours away). Been running from that for 2 weeks. running from the pain running from everything real.
But if I'm always hiding, running, escaping I'm not getting better.

How do I face the reality...

one day, one moment at a time..............

maybe instead of looking at the big picture, also take it one task at a time

it will get easier

i agree with beadlady---one moment at a time.
looking at the big picture is often overwhelming for us (the constellation)
sometimes we make a list of the things that should be done that day.
don't have to "do everything", but it is there as a guide.

sometimes the task at hand is scary and it just needs to be done.
we had to write something for T last week. had to make ourselves sit down
and do it.
we like unlined paper.
we like colored pencils
or crayons
we don't make lists of feelings or triggers or stuff like that
we like free writing all over the paper.
or poetry to express ourselves
structured writing is difficult.
don't know your assignment, but could
you perhaps just write like you post here???
just our thoughts
hugs to you
Thanks for this!

i agree with both iris an beads...one moment at a time is usually all we can do too...more like minute ta minute is enough...even lookin at what we r gonna do in 3 or 4 hours is way too overwhelmin ta think about...

u will find that just focusin on the here an now moment will b easier than tryin ta focus so out of touch future...just b in the here...an dont try ta fathom what will come next...

the bible says that we need ta live in the here an now because we donno what will come up an we rnt sposta worry bout the future...cuz the here an now has enough worries ta worry bout...

hope this makes sense...

By the time you read this, I think you will already have gone and come back from your appointment, so it's just for me to let you know that I am thinking about you.

baby steps...all in its own time....when you are ready...

You are facing reality because you know what you need to do.
Be easy with yourself.
Thanks for this!
