Where do you begin to pick up the pieces?

I felt like this very recently... I can't say what you should do, but for me, I shut the door on the world for a little while, because I was too raw to let the world in. And I cried, a lot, I let out how I felt..and then I slept, a lot, am still sleeping far more than I usually do... and then I talked to friends, when I felt I could talk about it..and maybe more importantly, when I felt I could put it away and talk to them about them... I am starting to feel better, but even this morning I woke up sad. It does get better, of course it does, but accept it isnt instant, or a straight road, and expect a few backwards steps...and be very very nice to yourself. Thinking of you | ||

I have to try and restore some order to the turmoil before I can start to think completely straight. Put a couple of easy to resolve items into place first, so you can have that feeling of moving forward with success, and then attempt the harder ones. D xx | ||

With the small things you can handle. The rest can wait until strength starts to return. From tiny acorns.... xxx To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved. | ||

Stop, close your eyes, take a deep breath and see what is the first thing that comes to mind that you can deal with. Start with that and delegate what you can until you get on top of things. Hope all's ok. | ||

Simple actions to start to reground yourself help if you feel as if life has devastated you. Try to do one small but positive task every day like get the ironing done, repot houseplants or work in the garden where you can reconnect with the earth, bake bread, clean the windows to allow brighter light into your home, make something out of a natural substance like wood or leather and the good old go for a walk in the fresh air all help to blow away the cobwebs. Whatever the event, tangible evidence of positive progress helps with the healing. Resist the urge to turn to alcohol or other props, they only dull the pain and conceal the hurt, you have to heal from the inside, not cover it with a temporary fix. xx Quote from a received memo 'Are you the nice lady with the whip'. | ||

Work out what shape you want it to be when you've put all the pieces together. And work out whether there are any pieces that just need throwing in the bin. I suppose the only good point is that when you've been smashed down to bedrock, it does give you a chance to take stock and work out how you want to rebuild. Good luck, and don't give up. A lady is never offensive... by accident. | ||

neither could I, but I had to for my sanity, and so I found a way...can you take a couple of days just for you? Can you stay with a friend that understands you just need to be on your own.. |
