not being consumed

Post by bravura »

i wanted to come here and share
positive things have been happening
for over a year now I have been going to shiatsu and yoga
I have been feeling feelings. a new thing for me
I took a moment today to stop and see how far I have come
How much my life has changed
I saw how I used to be consumed
by using work as a coping mechanism
by maintaining a high level of numbness
by staying in denial of my history of abuse
and it's resulting side affects
I have made huge changes in my life
I can and do say no to work
I feel a vast range of emotions and am not consumed by feelings
they happen and then they pass
I am no longer in denial of what happened in my past
I am working to heal
I am functioning well as a dissociative collective of parts
I now sleep in my bed in my bedroom. this is a big thing for me
I have accepted that things will always shift and change
and that is ok
:D
