Great advice you all. ElleDee, I found it really helpful to focus on something other than the most stressful parts of my life in the early days as I was self-admittedly overreacting a bit to pretty much anything that came my way. Who? Little old me??
If you do not go to a meeting tonight, maybe you can putz around a nice shop, pick out a few 'hello' cards or tiny presents, and write out few nice letters of gratitude. This works for me to lift my spirits and pass time.
Also, try staying logged into SR and hang around the 'weekender' thread. Bounce thoughts off of everyone. This was SUPER helpful in the first days and now I just cannot stay away.
Hugs to you!
**Also, maybe you could pick out a nice selection of Night time herbal teas...they are not just for the night, hey? and it works well to calm my mind and body a bit any time of the day.
