read a reply message Gabe had posted to an ealier thread

I am going within...I feel such despair today....I don't know if I can heal myself....I am so afraid..that I won't be able to do this...and my life will continue to mean nothing...

I feel really down...reallly bad.....really scared....

I feel like I am in such a rut..and can't get out of it...

I am going to an ACoA meeting this evening...my 2nd one..I hope that helps...

just having a bad day

Gabe

Talia,
Sending some love and light your way.
I know how hard it is to try and heal when you're feeling despair.
I believe that there is light within each of us.
Sometimes that light is just hard to find.
I believe that you will find yours.
Hugs,
Gabe

Hi Talia,

Stay in the moment Talia. Go to the window and focus on a tree, the sky, a flower, something that can help you stay in this moment.

And please remember that feelings are not facts.

I would like to suggest that when you go to the acoa meeting tonight, ask for help, and get lots of phone numbers.

Do you have any meditation books or tapes?

If not, perhaps now is the time to get some. A few that I used and still do are:

"Days Of Healing, Days Of Joy" by Earnie Larson and Carol Larsen Hegarty.

"Courage To Change" by Al-Anon Family Groups.... is another very helpful meditation book.

((((((((((((Talia))))))))))))))

thank-you Gabe and Patsy...

I've been reeling from discovering some information concerning the person I was involved with...he has a very serious type of personality disorder...

I was grieving for this person..and myself as well....and I haven't been able to talk about this with anyone...

I was climbing out of the "rut" before I got this new info..I am not very good yet..with countering those emotions with new messages??...all I heard..was all the old tapes playing again...

and so thanks for allowing me to share what I was feeling...


your responses meant a lot to me....

I did go to the ACoa meeting....very nice people there....

Patsy..I almost bought the "Courage to Change" book..but couldn't make up my mind between that one and another..so bought neither..lol...


so now I know which one I will get now....


thank-you for your posts....I don't feel so alone anymore....

You are doing great. It takes time for us to heal, but don't worry about it not happening. It already is. You are reaching out.

Handling life without blinders on is very raw for a while. I still have times where I feel like a ball of emotion. But I have learned enough from the program to trust that even when I am confused, it's not forever. God sends us what we need if we are willing to recieve it. This too shall pass. Peace is coming. Hugs, Magic
