Hey all, I hope things are looking up for you today. I'm pretty new here, and certainly new to this kind of pain and suffering, but I now have a deep appreciation for everyone here who keeps fighting and continues to live their lives despite the huge burden that anx/dep can cause. So, can anyone relate to something that I told my therapist the other day:
I feel like I've lost my bearing on where is 'normal'. When I find myself feeling alright every once in a while, then my first thought is, is this 'normal'. The immediate answer is, if you have to ask, then it's not 'normal', b/c 'normal' wouldn't have you asking those questions. So, if I've clearly lost 'normal', but couldn't really tell you if I stumbled upon it, then how the heck am I ever supposed to really get better? there's a whole lot of 'not normal', but only one normal, and I think that if you lose it, it may not be findable again.
Anyone know what I mean? One last quicky...meditation?? Does it really work? Just started, but would like to hear from the peanut gallery on this one, too.
Thanks, Finneycat
