Maybe not ...Gosh, I can relate to the head things. Maybe not quite the same way or same obsessions, but somewhat. For me? It is way over self-analyzation and a mind that never quits but jumps from one worry or thought to the next. One leads to the next. Of late I am having a hard time staying asleep because the thoughts and things that I need or want to do need doing. Then? I get up and I don't accomplish anything I planned on accomplishing. I cannot tell you how frustrated I get with myself. Why I let self-doubts freeze me in my tracks. I have school courses to work through (and I anally take and write or type notes so I spend many hours with not a whole lot to show for it), art to work at because I love it but I suck at it, knitting I'd like to pick up...a weaving course on a rigid heddle loom I have here...Books to read...house stuff that needs to get done and that I leave to Michael...and he sucks at it...So much to do, so little time. And sometimes I am overwhelmed by the thought that I just might not have a lot of time left (now that is a quite eerie thought in and of itself).<br /><br />So? My point is that I don't have the answers, darlin'. I do, however, find myself wondering if you couldn't substitute another thing in place of food. You write beautifully. Maybe picking up a pencil instead? Writing a private just for you journal at home? Do you draw or anything? There is always that knitting. What about nature? Do you love it as I do (I still remember your beautiful location in the trees that I so loved.)? I am interested in trees, wildflowers, waterways, mountains. Pick up your camera, do a photojournal...<br /><br />Just a myriad of ways that you might be able to substitute an unhealthy 'obsession' for one that is edifying. (Poor word choice considering, but it was the right word to use.) There are better ways to deal with those that piss you off too. I find ignoring them and hibernating in my room is quite effective. LOLOL <br /><br />Sending you hugs as you work through things, Erika. It is a tough row to hoe, I know.Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517537111134440492.post-81426089553869484312010-03-26T10:04:28.870-07:002010-03-26T10:04:28.870-07:00You are doing great, and one step at a time is the...You are doing great, and one step at a time is the way to go..
