Dee! You are incredible, and I am sure I speak for everyone when I say no one gets me laughing like you do! I loved your post ... and can relate to the infrequent, but occasional, visits from the 'blues'. They seem to wash over me before I can catch my breath. Then, I have this moment of sheer exhaustion. THEN, as quickly as it comes, I catch my breath again and remind myself that I am okay. It's all going to be okay. Yup - time for a mental readjustment and forward focused eye-balls. Every once and a while my little mind tempts me to just take a peak over my shoulder, you know ... just to be sure that the wreckage was as bad as I thought. Yes - yes it was. So, onward we travel. Here in our real life we are where our mothers drive us crazy, the kids drive us nuts, there is more work to do than time in the day, and where the problems only get worse the longer we avoid them. Ahhhh, real life.
Thank goodness for coping skills - life was a lot more terrifying this time last year!
I feel the same way MC does, hearing that vets still think about their EAPs makes me feel a little sad, the pain doesn't completely go away does it? I'm grateful that you are keeping it real for us newbies, I too want to be here next year with MC.
Don't you wish the world had a pause button? You post has a good lesson - life doesn't stop and what is most important after ending an A, is working on the real problem. Our xaps will always be a part of our past - unless we have the Haitian Mind Eraser dude from Heroes do his thing. As we go through life we have to constantly to a mental check on our motivations and our actions. Keeping your mind in the present is key - creating a better future by what you do right now. Karma :)
I remember when I made it to Tweenerville, I was actually very down for a few days after. It's as if I thought something magical was going to happen to completely eradicate xap from my life - ha! I still think of him, but newbies, like Dee said, the issues do become mundane. Heck, I still think about my high school boyfriend from time to time and don't feel like jumping off a bridge like I did in 11th grade when he broke up with me! :)
