@ASilentObserver

Thanks Silent for this check in todaysmiley

What are you experiencing right now? In your heart, mind, and body.

Well now I am experiencing no painyesSo glad folks invented certain medicines. I done something to my spine and got the lower end of it inflamed. But I will be fine in a few days!

I might be experiencing maybe contentment that wants to be there, but also irritation. That comes with things I just can't control. It's easier said then done I promise you. I do try and just tell myself "Rumple they are busy, Rumple not now. Rumple it can wait" and so on. But things on here and things in my life- I need someone else's approval to continue. So.............it really slows me downsad

When I am having a hard time of acceptance and really want to place in mindfulness this I use alot:

https://byronclinic.com/marsha-linehan-radical-acceptance/

Marsha Linehan also struggled with Borderline Personality Disorder. She shares so openly on how it is with no control over her intense emotions and thoughts, which lead to major crashes in her life. I wish I could share with her on how appreciative I am that she used her own life struggles to invent DBT as well as Mindfulness skills

@ASilentObserver I feel a certain responsibility to do what I signed up to do.

I also feel that it is helpful just to relax and it will be okay.

Body feels like I need help balancing my hormones naturally. Lower back pain, bleeding for more than 46 days straight, fibroids, perimenopausal, nausea.

Heart feels sad, lonely, and yearns for someone to love and share tomato soup with on my balcony.

Head having a hard time dealing with yet more rejection from dating, rejecting because I haven't found what I'm looking for and frustrated when I do, its not mutual. Frustrated from getting stood up repeatedly when men realize I'm relationship minded and they're not a match. Frustrated and sad in the mornings waking up alone, evenings going to bed alone, and all of my activities and events without someone to call and share how cool and fun they were. Unhappy about not having sex other than alone or a safe way on the telephone. Sad I'm attracting men who want to be physical too soon without knowing me and unavailable men.

@soulsings she wants me to go on progesterone but I want to make lifestyle, diet, and stress changes to manage naturally without drugs. Worked for the first 6 months this year, but the last 2 months it hasn't. I need to see her again for a f/up ultrasound... will schedule... Thanks for your concern.

I am feeling hurt and let down. very disappointed with these issues and wish I could shove them under a rug and make them go away.

I go outside and try to be Present. Watching the clouds as they move ever so slowly across the sky until they merge into one another. Some are pure white looking like cotton candy and some are white but they are tinged with gray just like life. I guess we have to have some gray to appreciate the white.heart
