I am in a transition. My main support of six years has been gently unplugged and removed from my weekly therapy and affirmation. She retired. What can I say? She's earned it, worked for it and probably dreamed of it for weeks and months. I cannot begrudge her that. Nope. I just have had to re-frame my outlook. Her job/career involved dealing with my ups and downs, and now her responsibility in that area is over. I know she will have a wonderful life. I miss her opinions, affirmations, laughter and admonishments. She was tough on me, and she was relentless....but that is what I needed. I have an open mind with her replacement. Maybe I have just shut down a little. I stay very busy, and the 'ole "opposite to emotion action." "This too shall pass."
Bless you, and keep reading the website. Work the skills and whatever else keeps you calm, regulated, and sober.
