Detached, getting along better, but in limbo....

[Surfer]

SH,

Really appreciate this. It's very generous of you to spend this amount of time to review my position. Very kind. Thank you. Now...

Are you keeping up with me here?

Yes. Get it all. For clarity I have and do use some techniques myself that mirror this. Lots of Mindfulness training (and I mean lots), less now but still regular - exercise is 100% my main way to cope with frustrations however. Albeit this can be temporary so between mindfulness and exercise I get what I need. Also, I did a course for say 18 months by another similar person to MWD. Also read his books but in particular listened to hours and hours (days/weeks more likely) of podcasts on how to cope. One of the things that really helped was learning to detach from spew - not the whole shooting match in terms of detachment by any means but, an important part of it. I am the guy that can stand with the Sergeant Majors spit splattering on my face as he spews now. I would not even blink.

I have work to do on detachment still but I feel I am getting there - I see definite progress. I just need to focus on kind warm feelings too which is tricky with a WW. But its a balance.

Sorry I have to break this down.
