I don't see where talking about things is necessarily a bad thing. I'm the same way. I talk things out - with others, with myself (yes, I'm crazy), but that's how I process things.
I think where we tend to get bogged down is when we only do that and never come to a conclusion - I think that's what you're trying to say. I can look back at my M and see where I shut up and believe me, it did not matter whether I did or not. But it surely did allow me the time to see what steps I needed to take for myself. So please don't beat yourself up about that. At least you KNOW what you could have done differently. Maybe you're saying you know that now and still can't stop. But you're half way there if you are thinking about it now. Remember the serenity prayer Pam. God grant me the serenity...
Happy Today,
Thank you for your post.
That is exactly what I meant I can see what I'm doing and STILL can't stop. But I am much better. When I feel emotional I get much worse. When I'm hormonal I'm VERY MUCH worse!
