FEEL them RT. Vent them. There is power in that. Wanting to switch them off is understandable too. Turning them in on yourself is not the answer.

It takes more guts to let those feelings out than to hold them in.

((((RT))) I go in motion: walking, weeding, etc. I wish I had a punching bag; I would use it after almost every session.

I have also been known to go for ice cream or alcohol. Not the healthiest of coping techniques.

Reaching out here is both healthy and brave. Writing (for yourself or to others) can help sort out all the feelings; forcing them out of your mind and onto paper sometimes brings relief.

I'm sorry, RT. It feels like a long fight sometimes. Feelings change though, and they can even improve spontaneously if you just hang on and keep breathing. Your encouragement has helped me many times; I hope you can feel some hope and support in my message too.
