Hi
The last week (well, actually the last few months) have been awful for me. I have a little bit of room the next couple of days or so (hopefylly longer) to spend some time each day just decompressing. Even if I don't have the time, I'm making the time. I'm begining to get really sick with the amount of stress and duress. If I don't decompress some, I think I will implode - and also destroy any chance of getting back on track with my regular T. I did talk to eq T (my other T), not much about my regular T other than things were stressed, which she saw as a reflection of the awful things I have been going through lately. She was really steady and kind, and yet didn't pry into what was going wrong with regular T (which I needed her not to ask much about right now) but told me it sounded like I was just going from complete nervous system shock and overload to needing to decompress and find some comfort. It really seems to fit.
Nothing feels very solid right now. Not even my own mind or heart. Frankly, I may end up or should already be in a hospital but for various reasons that isn't working and I am safe in this moment for now.
I'm wondering what helps other "decompress," de-stress, and find comfort outside of sessions? What helps during sessions?

Just float. Doesn't that sound nice? There used to be these saltwater tanks back in the old days where you could go and just float. They were supposed to be stress-busters. I haven't seen any around in a while. I wonder if they all went out of business.
