Thanks. I have been learning how to limit my time to think about cancer, appointments, insurance, finances, etc. If something requires immediate attention, I still limit the amount of time that I will spend on it. I’ll break it up and go for a walk. Also I’m learning to breathe in, the very minute my mind goes in a negative direction that will make me feel anxious or upset enough to cry. Before, I was crying so hard and so often that my eyes hurt. I was getting headaches and my eyes were twitching all the time. I had to stop! My counselor is helping me with ideas, like…to check myself several times a day. Then I breathe and imagine good things happening in my life now and in the future. It’s helping me.
Thanks for your input. I am getting better and stronger every day. I’m still at a standstill at times, but like you said I’m allowing myself grace and some time to find my way out of the storm when it hits, knowing it will come again. But knowing also that when it does come I’m going to find my way out in my own way and in my own time. I’m also relying on God to help me and he always does.
Thanks and God bless and keep us all in Jesus name.
Glenda.
