How does one stop grieving for loss of a quality life, your mom, a roof over your head, a rare disease?
@huklebery That's a lot. Some would say the grieving process never ends, but it's fluid. What you feel today won't be how you feel forever. Do you have a safe living place? Not having stable housing can really complicate everything else.
It's complicating things, but I'm Adrenal Insufficient and my medical takes priority because I'm literally life dependent on hydrocortisone because my body doesn't make cortisol.
I'm at a friend's house but leaving to surf another couch next week its all I can do right now. It's hard because I feel I just can't find stability. My last couple years have been tough an I think its all finally broke me im not sure
@huklebery So you have some friends who are helping you, but couch surfing is probably still stressful. Is the medical aspect being well cared for?
Are you able to get someone like a social worker to help ease the burden?
I have a few friends that are helping and , I have all the state help I qualify for. It's stressful but I'm trying to stay focused thats its not forever. I just wish I could figure out all the emotions they just come when they feel like it and im tired of crying.
I'm off to bed its late almost 1am. Maybe we can chat more tomorrow. Thank you for your time.
@huklebery I hope you got some good rest. As for the emotions I think just to take them as they come, mindfulness can help with identifying them but it can take a while to process it all and sometimes that doesn't happen while things are in a state of upheaval.
What do you mean by mindfulness?
@huklebery There's so many ways to approach mindfulness - with identifying emotions I would put it down to taking some time aside to just focus on what's going on in terms of how you feel without adding on extra judgements, how you feel about certain thoughts If unable to label emotions, giving a rating to your emotional state, think about something that is going on - does your rating go up or down after thinking about that?
There's also an emotional wheel, I think 35+ has posted it which some people find helps. @pamharley003 do you know what I'm referring to/have a link to it?
@AffyAvo Found it
Okay ill try it, writing it down and looking at the wheel. I haven't been in the 35+ room only the 55+ so far.
