Another thread has got me thinking

[FabIsGoingToBeFabIn2010]

I have 2 massive issues in my life that I would love to get over and not carry the emotions with me for any longer (they are not relevant/I can't bear to discuss them too much).

I think part of me is scared to get over them/move on completely and not carry any issues because then I will realise how much time I have spent crying, being angry, sad, etc etc (though I also know that having depression doesn't help with the wanting to get over something.)

it is hard separating out what is YOU and what is NOT YOU if you see what i mean.

I have depression/anxiety and OCD...and am looking into something called 'co-dependancy' at the moment- which is helping me alot sort out in my head the things that are worth crying about.

I satrted a thread the other day- and have met some truly lovely people on it...its a 'motivational thread'...and may help you feel supported?

No need to go into details about what's going on in your life if you don't fell able to...my thread is all about US LOOKING AFTER OURSELVES and LETTING OTHERS WORRY ABOUT THEMSELVES !

HERES MY THREAD IF YOU FANCY A BREAK

take carexxx

Perhaps if you get past those issues, you will be able to see that much of the crying, anger and sadness was a part of those issues. Getting past the issues may release you from the emotions that are also upsetting you. If the issues are past, and you are able to consider them without getting upset, then you may also be able to think about your previous emotions without getting upset.

You have the right to feel and express negative emotions. There is no need to feel guilty about that. When you are ready, you can say to yourself "Right, I cried/shouted/etc. But that's OK. Now I can do something else, and that's also OK."

Have you considered hypnotherapy? It is very good for mental and emotional spring-cleaning.

Thank you both, I will look at the thread.

I have food issues and have a reason for it but I don't know if that is really why I do or I have just fit them together.

Some things I have been trying to get over for years, others I am only just realising why I feel the way I do about some things.
