Thanks for the support and encouraging words..Your right I will put it down the best way I can. The act of doing it is whats really important..My thoughts and comments are important and so are everyone else's..I have had a vast amount of experiences in my life..I guess I should of went to collage and taken some English classes but I didn't..I was busy raising a family and surviving..Now that I am in the golden years of my life I have a lot to share about living because of this experience. Taking collage classes is not something I am interesting in doing in this last chapter of my life. I am having a good time with the art and craft type classes I am taking now. I am really starting to relax and enjoy my life. So I will not concern myself with the, could of, should of, would of, type of thinking. It is negative and anxiety provoking....I have had a very interesting life so far and I plan on enjoying the rest of it to the fullest...
Thank you Davit for getting me back on track and into a positive frame of mind again..You are a dear friend..
I don't really have answer for this one...When confronted with a situation where I know I will have to assert myself I try to rehearse what the question maybe that they will ask..I walk away and later think I should of said this or I should of said that.
I try to prepare for the next meeting or confrontation a head of time, but I am not sure if you can be prepare for everything..
I know you said that your situation was not a confrontation and that it had to do with board meetings..I have never been in your situation or on a board so I am not sure if I can help you...Maybe someone else here with this kind of can..I think Sunny has been on boards before..Maybe she can share some of her experience with you after she sign in and reads your post...
You only have so much time to write a post before you get logged out...The session times out on you here on the site when you are writing a post...
I didn't know you composed your response in a file and send them later...You are much more computer savvy than I am for sure...This is not something I know how to do...I like to spent so of my time on my hobbies or just enjoying other things and people in my life, and this not something I want to learn how to do right now..So I guess I will just keep on doing it the way I am doing it for now..
Thanks for sharing your coping tip.. I kind of do this with the affirmations I have stored in my mind and bring up out of my mind when I need them.
My favorites are..
I will not live you or forsake you.
I am your rock in times of trouble.
I can't take this pain please take it from me...
the poem "foot prints in the sand"
and last but not least..
"The Twenty-Third Psalm"
I hope I didn't get logged out again writing in this format and this get posted....
I enjoyed reading your story about the pair of geese that return to your pond to see you every year..They are a pair bonded for life..I am glad to two of them are still together...Now I have a beautiful picture and beautiful story to save in my mind..
I posted this with cut and paste on my clipboard/notepad on my computer..Man what a hassle!!! What a pain!!! I did learn how to do it though..Not sure I could do it again. I will stick with my regular method of posting. Typing a thought and posting. Done finished..Other wise it not worth doing and way to stressful.....
Now two more of my favorite plesant activites..
Loungeing around the house with my partner on a quiet Sunday and listening to Bluegrass Gospel music on the xm radio..
Does anyone else have any pleasant activities that they would like to share?
I was wondering what brought you to the panic center?
If you don't mind me asking...
Everyone...
As for me and my worst day..
I have had a few of them in my life..I am not comfortable posting them..I think it is better for me and everyone else if I keep them to myself..So I will have to respond with no comment...
Not to worry..Enjoy your R&R time gardening in your peaceful garden..Planting time is here and this is your window of opportunity to get your planting done..The weather has been nice here so I have a jump on you with my garden..My vegetable are starting to get huge already and my roses are starting to bloom..I am really looking forward to seeing some pic's of your garden this year, so get out there and start doing what you love, working in your garden before time runs out..
Like you if I don't sign in I am still here reading when I can..I will be working in my garden and sewing my quilts and going for walks with my camera in hand. If I go out into the desert camping then I will be out of range and will not be able to connect to the internet..I do love getting out into the desert away from it all and spring time is the best time for it. This is the only time the flowers will be blooming in the desert so I have a small window of opportunity to see and enjoy them..
So relax and enjoy your garden and I will check in when I get back..
Update:
I am working on my fears #4,5,6, this morning..I am relaxing in the high desert and am planning on looking at some property while I am here..I may find that place to move to on this trip.
As for being invisible I do not think of it as a bad thing I find peace and comfort in it..it is my safe place away from it all. I am hoping to find a place to live where I have some more space of my own..If not I will enjoy my time here relaxing..I have very limited internet access here which has it good points..I did check my email and will not be answering it..I have come to this place in the desert to heal and spend more time with the person I love. My partner and I need a break from it ALL for now. This is what they call "self Care" here in the CBT program.
Well bye for now. Have a Happy Easter everyone!!!
Sid...
