Re: Overwhelmed?       06/06/04 03:21 PM Edit Reply Quote LauraSue Reged: 01/14/04 Posts: 4812 Loc: New York City Hi, Nugget, I see you already got some really good replies, but I so related that I had to answer too. The way I used to describe it was I wanted the rest of the world to just STOP for 48 hours so I could catch up!! I have learned some techniques over the years for detaching from my worries. One of the best and easiest sounds simplistic but really works, which is to focus JUST on the present moment and what you can accomplish or do something about right now. Just ask yourself, "What is the next right thing to do?" and then do it. If you find the worrisome thoughts crowding back in, just visualize a stop sign and say "STOP!" to them! It sounds silly but if you do those two things often enough you can train your brain the same way you train your dogs!! Also, remember that worrying about the future doesn't change a thing, it's just a waste of energy better spent on taking good care of yourself today. As they say, Yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery, today is a gift, that's why they call it the "present"!! Feel better sweetie. Oh, yeah and Xanax helps a whole bunch!! I take it and look how happy I am!! -------------------- Laura Keep it simple! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
