Advice on My Scenario Pt. 8 - No Anger, Know Peace

[OrangeK]

I have never told you to just get over it and not think about it. Gee, I had known you were going to ignore everything else in my post, I could have saved myself some time. [quote]

This ^^^^^^^was my only reference about your thoughts, and I was trying to suggest some "how to's", since you had said you didn't know how to shut it off.

I don't expect you to turn it off like a light switch. You have purposely engage your thoughts and attention on other things. If you can post on the board while in your cubicle, then that means you could look at other things on the Internet, too. I'm just saying to browse around in areas that interest you. Get ideas on GAL. Find something to read, something new. That is an example of purposely engaging your thoughts & attention away from your sitch.

At first, you may feel it is hopeless and your thoughts won't cooperate. However, if you stick with it, and if you will stop engaging in the things that trigger this spinning.......little by little you'll notice that you are spinning less & less. It is a daily effort that you have to do for yourself. It requires self discipline to train your mind to purposely think on other subjects.

When i am in a good mood i can see this, i can recognize that my "Spiraling Episodes" are less frequent and last less time. However when i am in the depths of one, it seems like it will never end and all is lost. Its a powerful negative draw on my emotions. Game nights are easily the biggest impact as i literally have to set my mind into that of a totally fictional character. Work is definitely my darkest time. Yesterday got really bad, cant really say why. I thought downs that low were behind me.

Im sorry to anyone i was short with yesterday, Something was definitely off in my head.
