I am powerless


 That is Ok. I get it. But I feel powerless over me. And learning that HP can take over with me also. I can turn me over to HP, not just everyone else. LOving myself when my ex doesn't love me is really hard. I had crawled out of my funk for a few hours, almost strung together a day but then the feeling came back over me. I feel like I have no control over that feeling. So, last night on my way home from my meeting I decided to give myself until Friday to live with this feeling. I gave myself a year to grieve for my dad. Not that I thought I would just be over it in a year but I thought I will start healing after a year. And that seems to be working. My grief around my dad's death has lessened. For the last year I let myself feel the feelings and have the thoughts. So, I'm going to try the same thing with my ex. Afterall, these are my feelings to do with what I want. I need the courage to change me. I need the desire to change me. I cannot visiualize the person I want to be. I just don't know, or care to know. i think that's part of my depression. Who Do I want to be? I was happy with who I was....or at least happy to be that person and work on being better. I tell you what it feels much better to post about me than it does to post about him....I have to give HP a chance to relieve me of my insanity. I still keep thinking that's my job....I don't want to burden God with my insanity! LOL!

Progress not Perfection - That's what I have to constantly remind myself -

Sounds great that you are willing to give your HP the chance to relieve you of your insanity. The "willingness to be willing" is a great start.

Don't give up before the miracles happen in you - You deserve them!!!

Peace,
Rita

Is that step 3?


"Made a decision to turn our will and our lives
over to the care of our HP as we understood Her."

Letting go....

The three C's - I didn't Cause it, I can't Control it, and I can't Cure it.

i just sent my A an email & I visualized sending him away into a safe place where he can heal.  I honestly wish him peace.  It is because i have faith that things will be okay.  Faith.  He has his journey and i have my journey. 

and best of all,
I'm out of the driver's seat!
