Relapse in my affairs


Just need to say this aloud to someone and I can't find a live body who will understand around here. So I am speaking as I type. I admit I have no control over other people and their decisions and my life with this nervous reaction has become unmanagable. I know full well that a power greater than me can restore my serenity. I have and continue to turn my will and life over to the power greater than me. I humbly ask that this unreasonable nervousness and fear of the unknown has over me right now in particular be removed. 

Thank you

Jen

Honey I would invite you to throw your life into HPs hands. I did years ago and stick to it.

jen whatever happens you will be ok. you have come thru so much. ONE day at a time, do what you have to then read, take the moose for a walk, come here, pm us.

I know for me getting out what I am nervous about helps so much.

Since I changed my words to I am concerned about.....it makes it so different, I don't say the nervous word or scared word etc as best i can.

being concerned means we have options.

Well I am here for you. Pm if you need to! you know you are special to me kiddo! deb

Jen here is a bit of ESH practice from Hilo.  Stand quietly in one place looking straight up above you.  Put your hands straight out in front of you palms up and arms stretched outward.  Put your problem(s) into your hands and then raise your palms as high as you can up above you and say, "here take this from me" and then turn your palms downward and bring your arms and hands down.  Make sure you don't try to grab it back when turning your palms downward.

Okay now, practice, practice, practice.   You do your part...God does God's part; for real.

(((((hugs))))) smile

Thank you all. I am feeling better already, that grinding edgey feeling that was simmering all day is draining. I did not want to resort to the panic meds when I know my HP will take care of it if I can do what I need to let it start. Some situations and days are easier and some are not. I am grateful.

Jen

Hugs Jen,

We all need the reminder that while things aren't always smooth there is always hope. :)

For me I turn to a poweful affirmation my sponsor gave to me.  It is:  God goes before me making my crooked path straight, calming my emotions and easing my anxiety.  I repeat it over and over and it seems to lighten my load.

In support,

Tommye

keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...Life is really hard sometimes, but it is truly a gift.  It's hard when we suffer from nerveousness and anxiety though....I love Jerry's suggestion....it'll keep you in the moment.

peace and clarity

Sending you love and support! I like to close my eyes and picture God's huge hand come down to me and I hand him each and every problem i can think of 1 at a time and I let them go into his hands, it helps me to feel them and release the burden of them and then I crawl in and I just know I will be just fine. It helps me to picture it. I hope you find peace.
