Re: Feeling so much pain

Defoflov:

That is a great positive result for you. Seriously. Keep that in your back pocket and pull it out when you need it (like the next time things get "painfully" familiar - know what I'm sayin'?). I have had to use some revelations of my own to help me escape or avoid getting back in the same greasy barrel that is hard to climb out of.

We often need to use things to give us a temperature reading of ourselves. Here it would mean that the next time you start to feel painful emotions similar to this episode you can use what pain feels familiar to help you pull out of it. "Pull out" would mean you pick up that two thousand pound telephone and dial your pals and bend their ear a bit. Or get out of your home and visit someone to talk, even if it is not about you (maybe they are having a bad day and you are just what they need that day).

Thanks for sharing your experience. :hamburger
