Are you feeling survivor guilt Knee?

My roller coaster or the merry-go-round with the horses going up and down in a circle of mind warp activity stopped with some meditation.

One minute of clear mind (stop thought tool) meditation or a few seconds laid the groundwork for longer times to sit with a still mind. DBT is CBT with a zen twist. Meditation and mindfulness are at the forefront of wellness care. It has worked wonders for me so far.

Start small, repeat it often, and keep growing the practice like watering a flower every day.

Having a plan of activities helps me plan my day. Not a perfect plan that I can not do, but a plan that works for me where I am emotionally in recovery.

I see you do the work, the hard gutwrenching work it takes to get healthy. You will go far with your work in recovery.
Outstanding job Knee. If more people here at SR do the work you do to recover...My heart would glow
