Hey N_Hill:

I did have a very good time. Partly b/c this also included one of my hobbies - gardening.

Did you feel you were stuck for a while?


I feel like there are multiple aspects to my life that I am living in parallel. For example, adoption, work, gardening etc.
I move forward in some at times and at stuck in others. Usually I get into that black/white way of thinking "Oh no I am stuck in life" when I am feeling overwhelmed.

I also feel stuck in different parts of my life when I get caught up in all I have to do ahead of me - as opposed to seeing what I have already achieved.

I m very goal oriented and for the most part that helps create milestones that guide me forward and I can see how I am doing.

I am also a huge proponent of cognitive therapy - which is what I practice on the BB. I tackle whatever event is bothering me at the time and the associated feelings. I post it in raw unadulterated form. Then I post the thoughts that led to that event triggering me and lead to me feeling that way. Then I work on assessing and altering those thoughts thereby altering the feelings. Yes, there is a method to my posting madness. That is why you rarely see me having to revisit an issue once I am done processing it. That also make me feel more empowered and less stuck.

Anyway - this is probably more information than you expected!

take care,
AG
