Still need to work through early trauma
Gaining Strength:
All of my life I have had this "bad" feeling, like something bad was about to happen. I used to call it my" other shoe about to drop feeling." In recent days it has lifted but today it is back full force. That's all right, I know with proper mental exercises I can overcome it but I look forward to the day when it doesn't come around me at all.
It takes 30 to 45 days to retrain a brain according to several Neuro scientists. I hope they are correct.
I would really love to have a retreat Center to help people retain their brains. One with lots of nurturing and comfort. I could use that today.

Re. the prayer group. Do you have the option of forgiving them for dropping you from their email list? It may not have been a big personal rejection. Perhaps they didn't know how, for you, it would be experienced as a huge, cripping rejection.
What might happen if you just reached out to one of them and said, 'I couldn't come for a while and realize I got dropped off the list. Can you add me again?"
If you kept it that simple, couldn't you return and enjoy the group again?
Just a thought.

Here is a weird battle I am fighting. In the past when I wanted to break through this stuff and get something done I would muster up all the stength I had an bully my way through. Eventually itwouldn't even do that. Today I have something very important to get done. Some paper work due. It is such a struggle and this project has depended on others who are not cooperating. This totally shuts me down, it totally hardens back to childhood. And talking by phone sends me into shut down. I have to get back into my mindset but boy do I want to avoid. I hope to report back a victory.

I like that bones. Being heard is of course important to those of us who were rendered voiceless.

Hating shutdown. Totally understand why thanks to last post. I don't have control, anyone else can shut it down. That's what always happened . Must get though the blockage that is mine.
