Recovery Journals / Re: starting over
Last post by sanmagic7 - November 19, 2025, 03:05:00 PMthanks, hope. as a matter of fact, i finished the big load yesterday, now all that's left is a quick read-through for small errors. the book gets uploaded tomorrow, so we're good to go. whew! big relief
going for my ultrasound in a couple hours. i know the procedure should be no big deal, but i hate it all the same. plus, the anticipation of the results. ugh. my gut is clenching at the thought!

AD - Emotional Dysregulation / Re: Sudden waves of sadness
Last post by sanmagic7 - November 19, 2025, 02:59:05 PMhey, silveris,
i carry sad around with me all the time. have been w/ it since i was very young, and when i grew older, several people, out of nowhere - strangers- have remarked to me about how sad i look. over the years i've come to realize that i'm very sad for what i didn't get in my life that i needed, very sad i had few resources re: insight, very said i was treated the way i was and everything i've had to carry because of that. i, too, am triggered by similar small things, and will burst into tears at what seems like the smallest provocation.
yeah, just full to overflowing w/ sad. i think it's just stored up because i wasn't able to express it before. so now it leaks out everywhere. you're not alone w/ this. good luck w/ EMDR - i hope it opens you up for you in the gentlest, most positive way. love and hugss

Hope your editing is going ok, and that you have some nice breaks with maybe tea or coffee (or drink of your choice).

Glad to hear that you had some good feelings, and I very much hope that they last longer and maybe become more frequent too.

Last post by Hope67 - November 19, 2025, 02:09:44 PM1) I put some lotion on my feet and loved the smell of it.
2) I am feeling better after having a cold, so feel good to feel better.
3) I sorted my wardrobe today, and that felt like a positive accomplishment.

Last post by Blueberry - November 19, 2025, 01:26:30 PMFree Encore Weekend starting Sat. 22 November at 7am Eastern Time and running for 48 hours. Idk if you can still sign up or if it's just for people already signed up, who will receive an email with the link on Saturday. You probably still can though because the hosts are into selling permanent access and the speakers' books and programs - that's the reason for an Encore Weekend, they're not doing it 'just to be nice'.
