Today I had to detach from something at work. I did it so well! I am so happy I am no longer just one long non stop reaction person. One of my colleagues is devastated.I really tried to model detachment for her but reaction is what she knows. I know I was there. I choose to be more functional these days. I know its been such hard work for me to learn how to, when to, how to not react react and then react some more. My social workers says I am much calmer.
How great to finally be making progress. I felt like I was stuck in sand for such a long long time.
I don't think it is just doing detachment. I have also been taking medication regularly for some ilnesses and do not feel as ill as I normally do. I can't afford the medicaton but clearly I can't afford not to take it either!
