sassyea, I agree you need your own therapist. I mean, every human being does IMHO!! if I could I would send
everybody to a therapist LOL.
I was stuck in the mud with too many losers/addicts/abusive males. Only in therapy can I zoom out, connect the dots, feel compassion as to why I have done all I have done and taken the decisions i have taken, and then habitate the present and start doing small changes to benefit me and me only to pave something different for myself.
Hugs and remember the Square breathing
count to 4 - breathe in
count to 4 -hold
count to 4- breathe out
count to 4- stay still
Repeat as needed
