This is what I am doing

Regulating Your nervous system

This is what I am doing right now in life. I’m learning to feel. I spent my life pushing feelings away. Feeling them does NOT feel very good right now. They feel scary, overwhelming, uncomfortable ….

I’m getting there. But man is this HaRD!

I asked my counselor if other people are doing this. Most do not. Most either: 

1. Take medication to numb the difficult feelings. 

2. Numb the feelings (drugs, scrolling, food, sleep etc.)

3. Ignore the feelings with coping mechanisms. 

So I’m doing the hard thing ….ugh.
