I did not realize what really was going on the first time around (A). A got stopped but....looking back on everything said/done then, past history (childhood, adolescence, and so forth), then interval between then and current crisis...IC and I pretty much have it as MLC (along with peri/menopause, empty nest, etc).
I made quite a few changes the first time around, but I let them slip...so phase 2 of MLC, as has been documented here, came back, with a vengeance.
So I got the ILYBNILWY speech, cyber/emotional affairs (like sandi2's sitch, and maybe PA now) in Sept last year .... but there was a nice little break in between, but now I see that the under currents were growing during that break.
I am reluctant to post sitch, as I think W may read here (thanks amaz history of recent purchases, but I should have known better) and the details would most likely clue her in...but I am seriously thinking about posting it anyway.
So I am here as a beginning mind, and this forum has saved me (mostly from myself)
For me, getting in the mountains and away centers and grounds me, but any outdoor activity definitely contributes to maintaining PMA. Try to do as much as you can!
