Thank you so much for sharing this information that you learned in your support group with us..This really makes a lot of sense to me and makes it so much easier for me to start working on and understanding my anger, so that I can do something positive about it and with it..I am going to print this out and use it as a guideline to help me...This will refresh my memory if I start to get of track again...
Thanks for sharing your experience with vicarious transference..and what you do to help with it..Like saying in your mind " this is a sad situation but I can do nothing about it" I think is very helpful.
I find when I can't fix a situation or make it all better for someone I care about it makes me feel real bad..I think repeating this in my mind when I wake up with nightmares just might help me with the nightmares I have of walking the halls of hospitals trying to save people I can not save..I used to work in health care years ago..and sometimes still walk the halls in my dreams.
This just may bring me some closure....Thanks again...
I see what you mean about the privacy issue and big brother..I have decided not to put any pic's up to go with my profile this time around..
I have been doing some work around my yard lately. We put in some trellises and planted so jasmine vines around the front porch for privacy and are now getting ready to install a fence around the front yard being that we really do need to set some boundaries, being we live in the big city..No more getting beaned with balls while trying to work in my garden I hope and no more humans or loose dogs running up barking and snarling at me in my yard. Might still get beaned while trying to install the fence though..Might install some cameras too while we are at it..This might work as a deterrent and that way we can document what is happening to us here..We are drawing up plans and summiting them for approval today so that we can get our permits before we start on the fence. Plus I am waiting to get a email back from a roofing contractor so I can have my 22 year old roof replaced before Winter arrives. So as you can see I am very busy at the moment.. so you might not see me around here to much..Maybe I will send you a email and let you know how it is going if you don't mind. I still have your email address you gave me a long time ago, as long as you have not changed it that is. I will send you a little mail and we can catch up once in a while if you like to...Let me know? Any way back to my project I am hoping this will resolve some of the problems I am having living here which should help with the panic/anger and depression I have been experiencing..
Anyway when this is all said and done, I plan on relaxing and doing a little sewing, getting out my kindle and working in my garden again...If this doesn't work than I will get back in our travel trailer again and start hunting for a place to move to again..
I feel the same way ~m and Vincenza and everyone one else's does...I understand you needing a break and I have taken a few myself as you know. You are and have been such a dear friend to me..I will miss you dearly..and will forward to hearing from when you drop in..I want to let you know the email offer is still on the table..I have keep your address all this time..You can let me know here how you feel about it and I will contact you if that is what you want...Its up to you, no need to answer right now.
Rest and do what you need to do right now..I check the site a few times a week and will find your post. I'll check the "Drop in and say Hello thread."..
If your reading here this morning. We are thinking of you. I hope your doing ok. Please drop by and let us know how it's going when you get a chance...
Yesterday was a tiring day physically and emotionally...I am moving forward with my projects at home...We got our permits for our fence. A roofing contractor came to the house to take measurements and discuss the job..He sure did talk a lot about everything under the sun..man that was energy depleting..Than on to the permit office to talk to the engineer about my fence plans..Next a stop at the store for groceries..This is more than I ever try to do in a day..but I made it through it and am getting ready to shop for fence materials in the next couple of days..Oh and by the way I got a summons for jury duty again for the end of October and for those that were here when I got my last one over a year ago you will remember how upset and panicked about it I was..Well this time I am really ok with it..No panic just a annoyance thats all...So all in all I am very happy with the progress I have made since I started here working on my panic and agoraphobia..I could not of done all these things before..
It still isn't a cake walk but now it is doable...If this is the wrong place for this post I am sorry..but these activities did produce a lot of emotional and physical symtoms..I am exhausted but very happy that I was able to do what I needed to do...
If my previous post is in the wrong forum title your more than welcome to move it to goal setting and exposure planning..I'll leave it up to you to come up with a thread title..I would of put it there myself. I wasn't sure where to put it. That forum title has been used for the Quote of the day for many months now and I don't want to cause any problems here. I also have a post about four down from this one talking about this same exposure plan and how it relates to the the issues I am having with my panic/anger/depression/ptsd..
Well thats all the exposure I have for the forum today..I've got more exposure to do today in the outside world so that I can finish my plans of making my home a more peaceful place to live..
Has anyone tried or thought of changing their environment or situation in a effort to deal with there panic or depression? What are your plans or thoughts on this kind of approach?
This is something I have been working on for the last two weeks..It does involve a lot of planning. There is also goal planning and exposure work to do too..In the end I think will be worth it..
