Swing by BluWaves's thread. We are discussing the difference between emotions and feelings. I have been studying and learning about this since my dark days go chaos with the uncontrollable emotions that led to feelings and actions that I look back on and say WTF!??!!?
Anyway, I commend you for working with the IC. Interesting approach with the focus on physical exercise and diet. What kind of IC are you seeing. What does your IC specialize in?
And as for advice of your experience with the WAW and D8..... Don't dwell on it. You did what you were comfortable with. There is no right or wrong answer for how you handled it. But the right answer for now is not to dwell on it, ask what you should have done, or feel guilty for leaving or staying. None of that benefits your mental and emotional psyche right now.
Another point that was made tome and now I understand. Getting the D done does not change your situation..... So if you are thinking to do it in hopes that it will, I caution you to take some big steps backwards....... You will not benefit from it for the reasons that you may think emotionally.
Google what you should know before deciding to initiate a D. Eery list I read, states, do not do it from an emotional state.......
Have you looked into meditation by chance? Lets get anxiety and other emotional states under control before you make any major decisions.
