Morning all. Thought I'd check in early as I've got another busy day ahead.
Forgot to tell you yesterday that I've been researching mindfulness meditation to help me with my anxiety and racing thoughts. They have classes close to where I live and I'm going to sign up. Not sure where I will find the time but I will make it a priority.
My thoughts run at 100 mph and that doesn't help with insomnia. I need to learn how to stop and just sit. Ive always been a little scared (yeah, i know!), of stopping because I've always run, always hidden. First behind drinking, then behind working too hard. Therapy is helping me rationalise my thoughts. I find it really hard to focus. Even when I'm talking 1:1 with my therapist, my mind completely runs off at a tangent, hurtling from 1 issue to another. She says that's avoidance and dissociation.
I feel I may need to teach myself how to feel comfortable with myself. I'm really thinking this is a positive move for me.
I will let you know how it goes.
Blimey, I came in here to give up smoking....that was all!
