Drew, I knew I was on my way to recovery, when I started asking myself, "what do I do now/who am I now that I don't feel anxious"? I can remember speaking with my Spiritual Mentor Rosie; telling/asking her what do I do/feel now that I am not fighting feelings, emotions or situations anymore. Her response was laughter, she is 95. I was off course for a bit but once I relaxed into the "New Me" I found it feels WONDERFUL! I have finally gotten to the point that you and others have spoken about, not caring if anxiety tags along or when it shows up. I truly never thought I would get there. One also knows they are recovering or recovered when they don't have to listen or seek out podcasts or morning emails just to get through the morning or day. Instead you CHOOSE to listen at your own pace to educate yourself and others along the way. Keep sending your emails and doing your podcasts! Love you Big Guy!
Drew, I am always impressed with how straight forward you are. It is actually refreshing… and thanks to this, I have realized that indeed, social media tends to convinced us that trauma-disorders, etc. are inseparable from who we are, hence, something we need to preserve (!) to be real
Thanks so much for the reflections and the book recommendation of today
This is so true of me right now Drew. If I'm no longer worrying about something I feel lost like I don't know what to do with myself. I have tried recovering the old me. I used to be a good singer and dancer but that avenu is lost because of my MS so I'm trying to find new things to do without success. Sorry this is long but I really do feel lost.
