Tricky tricky mind skills
I'm catastophizing a bit. My mind will make a stressful situation where there is no need for one. Or blow something up and then usually it's a simple not stressful fix. I don't understand why the mind does this. It's awful when your battle is with your own mind. Which feels like a seperate entity. Stress and I don't get along at all. I'm using skills but having trouble destressing. A few important phone calls tomorrow may cause relief or cause even more stress.
@TrueSight I am reading this tonight and hoping that the day that followed resulted in good things for you. I don't know your story fully, but I do hope that you find ways to cope with those thoughts in meaningful ways that give you comfort and relieve your stress. Take care.
@MidwesternCalmSeeker thank you very much. Thankfully nothing turned out bad. I wouldn't say anything necessarily turned out for the positive either. Just an afternoon that raised my blood pressure. Anytime you have to deal with Medicare/Medicaid you feel like you're going to explode.
@TrueSight Good deal. The health system, unfortunately, doesn't make things easy or stress-free. Depends on the health plan a lot of the time, but you do have to be prepared to advocate strongly for yourself.
@TrueSight
i usually just let my mind do what it wants and i disconect from it yousing metitation skills.....my mind is very fast and randomized......so im a good organizer as a result....
@Dani1970 disassociation during my ketamine treatments helps me do that. Getting better at meditation on my own though.
