Hi Ziggy
What I find really helpful is to just focus on the present.
Forget the past, forget the future & work on one day at a time.
I recently had some bad news & got stressed & starting thinking about my past & my future & I had to really work to bring myself back to the present. When I did I wasn't stressed anymore & could once again focus on the current day.
Have you read the book :The Journey from Abandonment to healing - Susan Anderson?
I am half way through it & it is a good read. Also goes into the physical aspects & your bodys reactions to abandonment, stress etc & explains a lot of why we end up feeling the way we do.
Hugs as always,
