Should I keep my mouth shut? I am really feeling the need to listen these days. I think I am going through a growth period or a new cycle in my life. I don't have a lot of wisdom to share right now. I just want to say a few things & stop writing. I am not hopeless or helpless. I don't feel alone in all this stuff I go through anymore. I have been around long enough to know these things but do I really feel all this down deep in my heart? Maybe I am a little depressed. I have been sleeping longer lately except on days I have to get up! I am just glad that I am sleeping--I suffer from some insomnia. I take medicine for sleep, too. I don't know what else to say.
I am just going to let others say what they need to say. I am going to continue to listen.
Aloha Kath...try being the lead at your next meeting and pick a subject which can bring answers like "If you keep and open mind you will find help". That one blew the doors of resistance of my program. ((((hugs))))
Please dont stop talking, I always get insight in your posts and I think sharing keeps us from isolating with our problems. I get what you mean about listening though, there is a fine line between truly listening to what someone is saying as apposed to listening while trying to figure out how to reply.
Hello Kathleen I am right there with you . I'm more tired now during this whole recovery then if I were to run a marathon . I also have insomnia I work on 4 hours of sleep only so I think we say things we really don't mean because we are just plain tired and that's when I find my mouth wants to talk . If you ever need to talk I'm always up ;))). .
