Acceptance vs "working on" issues.
I know that is as clear as mud lol Is acceptance of the damaging things that happened in your past, considered actively working on your recovery?
I was at a 9.5 out of 10 on how much more I could take. So I quit working on everything. I'm NOT working on....
-forgiving the A's (and their actions) in my life
-PTSD
-forgiving myself for staying so long.
I have accepted that these things happened in my life. I don't like that they did, those things seriously affected me, but those things did happen.
So that's my plan. Accepting that bad things happened, and if some issue comes up, I'll give it attention at that time. My 9.5 on the about-to-lose-it scale is now a 3 since I did that. I just......let it go.
I am still seeing my counselor, but we ran out of time to talk about this. Would you say Im still working on my recovery? To me, I am, I'm just going about it a different way. And I'm taking a much needed mental health break. Breathing sighs of relief, it feels good.
P.S. If you haven't tried yoga, please do, it's awesome!!!! There are tons of sit down yoga videos on YouTube.
