Do you ever feel like you need to climb outside of your body for a minute until the over stimulation calms down?

I wish I knew how to do this. Sometimes my mind just goes blank, and I forget what folks were talking about - this happens in one-on-one therapy sometimes, too, but rarely in group. And some days it feels like I'm in a fog and can't get out of it. But actually getting out of my body for a little while until it calms down sounds like it would be _useful_. Tfella has muttered some stuff at times about how I have to learn to be _around_ for really strong feelings, but I don't entirely understand how that's possible.

And what part of what the dude was saying does this sound like? I'm sure it's relevant, I just don't know quite how.

And indeed, I can take banter, and dish. I just hate to interrupt when folks are talking about Something Else. I wish I felt like I could respond on other threads and add Insight and Thoughts and Responses and all sorts of things. I have a really hard time thinking I have anything to say, though...long posts notwithstanding!

By the way, thanks all. I appreciate, again.
