i can't move
 

i'm stuck. i know it's not hopeless. i'm just stuck. please - a few simple recovery reminders?

thank you, k

Go out and do something nice for yourself and know that you deserve it.

hang in there PC....I know that space very well.

You're exactly where your suppose to be.

Just do what is in front of you,
simple things such as cleaning out a junk draw.

The difference between today and tommorrow is about 24 hours.

Take a deep breath, you're going to get through this, I promise.


Hig huge hugs,

Hi PC
 

Here's a reminder: You are alive and deserve the good life that your HP gave you. I've been in your place more than once when I thought I could not survive one more minute. Guess what? I did!

Moose is so right! It will be ok!

Hugs, Devastated

Plan something fun just for you. Something you can do right now or in next few hours. Something fun, even if it's reading a magazine or calling a friend to go visit (to get me out of my obsessing), or planting a new geranium...anything to get you out of your OWN head.

Remember, NOTHING LASTS FOREVER. Move a muscle, change a mood.
Call a recovery friend.

Lordy have mercy, I'm trying so hard to help you cause I know how it feels. :hug:

Hugs,
Hangin' In

I always remind myself of this. I can't, He can. Helps me to know that I am not alone in my pain. Sometimes a good cry helps me too. I will listen to some sad song, have my cry and then move on. Sometimes it takes me a while, but with time, I seem to be able to let go of the worry and the pain. I do hope you find a way to get better. Being stuck for a while is okay too. Just be gentle with yourself. You had so much hope and now you must be realistic again. I know how much that hurts. Time. Hugs, Marle

Take a deep breath. Imagine. Blink once or twice. Know that tomorrow is a few hours away.

"This too will pass."

oh...and also please read my sig line

if you can fix it,fix it
if you can't then just let go....

patient acceptance...

(easier said than done...sigh)

i'm trying over here. thank you, k

Ok, I have to share my favorite piece of information that I recieved here from Ann. It has gotten me through more than a couple "stuck" and miserable positions, I can tell you.

-The difference between a bad day and a good day is a couple of days!

It may sound simple but once you read it, absorb it and realize that it's true - it's true! Getting stuck is normal for all of us. "Staying" stuck is what you don't want!

This too shall pass.

Hugs,
marteen :hug:

sorry that you are in a low spot....I'm trying to remember "let go or get dragged".

Hope that the sun starts shining soon.

Love, Donna

(((k))) My counsler told me to hold my hands out in fromt of me, palms up. Close my eyes & just breath. Nice & easy, just breath. You will find yourself less tense with yours hands out like that, you aren't clenching anything.

Today I am kind of playing a mind game with myself. My stepdaughter is movng in for awhile next week. ( The youngest, not the married pregnant one) So I have things to do to get her room ready. But I have still been triying to think, ok is today day 5 for AD to be clean? Did she use? Just some of the things my mind can do all by it's self sometimes. SO I am shooting for 30 minuets at a time I am not allowing myself to go there. I get something going, and do not allow myself to guess. Just stay in the moment for 30 minutes. It may sound dumb, but it has helped today. I look forward to a face to face meeting tomorrow morning. Hang in there, we're gonna be ok. Hugs.

mainly most important is "YOU ARE POWERLESS". do something you have been wanting to do.hugs.

"Progress, not perfection" and "Pain is enevitable, but misery is an option" are 2 slogans I find myself returning to when I am getting stuck.

Another good when I read on a church billboard was "Don't put in a period where God has put a comma". I like that one 'cause it reminds me that I can't see the future and don't know what is in store for me. Could be bad, but there is an equal chance that it could be great.

HTH.

I feel for you--so sorry this is a bad day for you--for me it is always DISTRACTION--whatever type you like but nothing that has anything to do with the A.
Read a book--go to a movie--take a nice bath and go to bed--tomorrow will be a new day

Her's one I always have to ask myself.
How Important is it?

Hope you are feeling a bit better. If not tonight, then perhaps tomorrow will be better. We all go through these rough spots. I allow myself to be there for 24 hours; then I make myself get up and do something to take my mind off of my sorrows. I like to garden, so I have planted a few flowers this week and they make me smile. Even days after my 24 hr blue day, they remind me that I made it through another rough day and I can do it again.
I think I shall have many flowers planted this year! lol

Hope you feel better soon
