I know you'll understand when I say I'm "glad you're feeling sad" - by which I mean I'm glad you're letting yourself be aware of the emotions which are inside you, especially when those aren't the emotions that you wish were there (or feel "should" be there). I'm really in awe of your progress lately Emma!!<br /><br />I was telling somebody the other day that actually I felt that physical levels of recovery didn't matter nearly so much as how happy we were - ie if we are really and truly content/happy with our lives and happen to be (say) 75% disabled, that's preferably to being 25% disabled but miserable with our situations. Does that make sense?<br /><br />I am certainly a billion times happier now that I was last time I was at this same level of health (perhaps about 10 years ago), which is partly because at that time it was on a downward slide and I was still depressed/angry that I was sick at all and now I have got here from being worse and the part where I can sit up (not lie down) is like a miracle - previously having to sit down (not stand) felt like a trap I think. It really is all about the emotions!!<br /><br />Love & Hugs,<br />rAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752442688135445689.post-4137248290627479262011-02-19T15:32:50.163-08:002011-02-19T15:32:50.163-08:00You are quick off the mark Toni!

I think just having that inner voice externalised in some way (in this case, through a recording) is really helpful. It makes a big difference.Sara https://www.blogger.com/profile/12095262161793214914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752442688135445689.post-59958700680738229822011-02-19T15:09:00.791-08:002011-02-19T15:09:00.791-08:00The idea of an inner mentor -- someone in your min...The idea of an inner mentor -- someone in your mind that you record and listen back to sounds like such a valuable practice. I'm so glad you've followed through on this. It sounds like a wonderful way to break what you so aptly call the cycle of blame.Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05729837575450453607noreply@blogger.com
