My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

Funny, I was dealing with the isolating feeling recently, too. Spoke to IC about it today, and...well, I should put it over on my thread

But know that you are not alone in these feelings...

yeah, that isolation thing is a real trigger for me. I'm trying to keep it in my head and deal with it that way, because otherwise I panic, get depressed, eat ice cream from the carton, etc. I'm learning to recognize the feeling before I react emotionally, so that I can do some constructive self-talk. A little do-it-myself cognitive behavioral therapy. Most of my poorer decisions in life have been in response to that sense of isolation--it only took me 53 years to figure out how to deal with it!
