Requesting support and direction

3 things. First, so you know, in 2006 I told my sisters that my "marriage has a 10% chance of lasting..."

Second, how to deal with the fears and stress and obsessing? Well...

If you are a believer, you can try turning it over to God. IF not, maybe a "higher power" or "the universe" would help.

I literally had to think it, say it, and hear myself say it, dozens of times for it to sink in. (I'd do this in the shower so the kids didn't think I was nuts).

But invariably, it calmed me. "God, I turn my marriage/pain/anger over to you."

Also, GAL helps with Detaching, more than any other single thing.

You are actually doing quite well. I'm impressed with your personal insights and personal work.

If those insights lead you to real change, then that's no small thing.

Thanks 25yearsmlc that really helps! I will admit I have been doing alot of speaking to God in the shower.... and funny enough for the same reasons!

That is certainly a long list, and you are very right I have no excuse! I actually have had no one really give me an example of how they GAL. I am really looking forward to being back in school, I can see myself slowly growing into a lot of new things. So for the next 2 weeks I will prep for that... but I have started to see what fun and exciting things I might be able to try.
