there's got to be a way out

Posted by alesta on March 2, 2007, at 16:52:47

i can't take this sometimes.

i say this because i feel like i absolutely need to. it sums it all up. i am just in such a bad place. maybe i should get a therapist and stop whining here. i can't take this place sometimes.

 

i'm going to stop posting for a while guys :)

It is not helping anyone for me to keep saying how miserable i am...i think i may have just discovered a mental tactic to help myself! i am going to explore it and see if i can figure out a way out of this depression for a while. i'll come out of it sooner or later. i always do.:-)

ciao bella!

May I suggest mindfulness meditation? It is a valuable and rejuvenating form of "time out". And, totally voluntary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindfulness

Also, you might consider BearHugitation®.

Hey alesta,

I think it's ok to whine if you want to. We all need to be heard sometimes. ((((alesta))))

I agree, 100%. I do it. And it feels better after.

Just typing it out is mindfulness, explicit and simple.

The trick is to not get caught up in the secondary experience, not judging yourself for having had the primary emotions and thoughts themselves. To accept yourself as you are is mindfulness, too.
