To Curtis and fellowtraveler:
lately I have been struggling with many emotional and physical issues. While searching the Internet for any solutions to my recent anger issues I stumbled upon this forum. I read the woes of the writer and could sympathies a little like with many forums/blogs but I still felt it didn't hit the nail on the head but I read the follow ups and was glad I did.
Curtis, even though you know what works for you might make others feel silly, I'm glad you shared your tips. Lately I feel like I'm losing grip on reality and I stopped, took a breathe and let the petty things go. I know you didn't create the action of meditation but the way you took me step by step through the process and didn't just say 'meditate' made it easier to slow down and just take a step back. I've recently been angry with my loved ones for no good reason and this helped me set aside things not worth fighting over.
Fellowtraveler, I have always been interested in the chemicals that control our bodies and how they keep us linked to ourselves and others. Your advice reminds me of my own personal decission to try and stay sane without the use of medication. Reading your feed back made me feel strong enough to keep my logic ahead of my overwelming feelings.
Thank you both for so much wisdom. I have stored your posts on my phone, labeled 'Happy' and the next time I'm feeling blue I'll reread these thoughts and be thankful.
