it was hard to get up today, i hate that sleepy/tired feeling in the mornings, and don't understand why some days are harder than others.

i'm having a lot of feelings about work. distrustful and suspicious of my boss. the work day feels so long sometimes. there is a certain amount of pressure each day. some days i just feel like **** it.

tonight at least i have my therapist. we are going to explore what led to my big crying jag on tuesday. i was sobbing and couldn't stop. wound up going home.

i'm having a sort of spiritual crisis too. don't really believe in a Higher Power at times. this belief in a Higher Power is supposed to be central to my 12 step programs. when i don't feel it i am left to my own devices, which usually winds up with me feeling so alone and hopeless. is there anyone who can share about their belief in something greater than themselves. i do know i am in awe of nature and that can act as a Higher Power.

thanks for listening,
love, rich

Hi D.,

I am sorry that you are going through a rough time of it currently. I do hope that your time with your therapist tonight brings some relief, and plans for feeling better about your situation.

As far as the spirituality goes, we have to be careful to keep things of faith in a general sense here...since our topic is of course heatlh/anxiety realated...

So while our members can't proselytize...you could talk with other via e-mail if you have specific faith topics you would like to discuss.

I would encourage you to simply look for a church/synagogue/temple that you are comfortable with. You can easily look up a local church's mission statement through their website, and see if it meets your needs.

My husband and I came from two completely different (christian) demoninations. We were raised pretty differently. As a compromise, we chose a church with a demonination that neither of us was familiar with...but one that seemed somewhere in the middle of our two upbringings.

We have been members in our congregation for 16 yrs now.:)

Sometimes just trying something new is a step of faith that turns out to be an otherwise hidden blessing.

I hope that you have a peaceful rest of the day...and a great session tonight. Keep us posted.

S.C.

Sometimes Display when it gets overwhelming and we are questioning God because we don't understand why....we must say Thy Will Be Done and relinquish all to the Lord. It's hard but its what I try to do.
I'm still struggling with my boss at work too so I can relate.
Hope you find peace
