hi guys. productive day. been to the sleep clinic to pay a bill, put a script in at the hospital pharmacy, seen shrink, he was very late, but he said he had a complex situation. no worries. had a good chat. he is amazed with my progress from 2 weeks ago, and with everything that has happened. i said i am proud of myself. he said yes, you have excellent coping skills. scaredy cat on anxiety forum recommended decompressing, and i have been, shrink said it is good. see him in a month. cheers my dear friends. you have been awesome.

What wonderful news! Thats the way to harden your shell!

See it just takes one person at the right time, to say the one thing that fits into the opening between our negative thoughts to help break the cycle!

I have warm fuzzies....

Peace

You're an inspiration Jaime.

What is decompressing? I mean, I know what it is in the general sense, but it sounded like you were talking about something specific, like a method for doing it. I could use some knowledge in that area.

Hi Turtle,

I would also like to know what decompressing is. I could use a lot more coping skills in my toolbox.

Glad you are doing so well, it seems to be working for you :)

for me it is about reducing the maximum amount of input / stress /information / tension into a minimum amount of all of it. to decompress to relieve pressure. it is still there but not at the same level of intensity. just like a diver in a airlock to decompress-i do the same. how you do it is up to you. basically create a space, an airlock. hope this is helpful.

I do the same thing Jamie. I do it often. Avoiding stressful situations and keeping my surroundings peaceful. It is the only way I can exist. I deal with things when I have to. But not till I can handle it. Though that isn't always possible. Yes-decompress... Sounds good!!!

Hugs, Karen...
