Re: helping others-not dwelling on CMT

[Guest guest]

Hello Larry,

Yes, it's easy to fixate and blame all woes on the CMT. I allot a

certain amount of time for it including these posts. Then I'm off on

several of life's other interests and activities. It isn't long

before the other activities are in the majority and CMT is not lost

but absorbing the time appropriate to the required learning and

helping of others.

Ed in NH,

Enjoyed your post. I too allot a certain time for CMT work, also 12

step work, then I am off to pursue the rest of my life. After working

out (still with those ab curls!) today I was so happy to spend the day

in my garden, mostly pruning and also finished stenciling my planter

barrells to match all my other ones and the decor inside the house.

What a beautiful day to be outside - clear skies, light winds (paint

dries fast!), now and then glancing and watching a passing bird,

butterfly or beetle...I don't do this enough anymore. What an afternoon in the

" now " . And heck, do you think I was thinking about CMT? Not a chance!

Just trying too wrap up my 'summer projects' before it gets too cold to

be outside and making plans for seed planting in October :)followed by indoor

projects.

It just amazes me how rich and full life can be!

Its hard not to dwell on CMT when you have it and three of your children do. I

have to face its challenges everyday in one way or another with one of us. A CMT

life for me would mean I could actually have some CMT free days and thoughts.

I've always read your messages and admire you greatly, I'm just worried I won't

get the strength like you have. How long did it take?

I know that sounds ignorant, but my childhood was very tough and haven't had

parents since my teens and have been homeless, BUT always pulled through. That

was when I had my health. I can't do that anymore and I'm tired of being strong

for all these years.

I feel like I just want to pull the covers over my head. Not suicidal, I went

through that with my parents and know how bad it makes everyone else feel, but

what makes you tick??

Hi

I really think that you should seek professional help as quickly as

possible. There is absolutely no need to suffer through depression in

this day and age. Speak to your family doctor or just call a local

physciatrist and get some help. You'll be amazed at how helpful this

is.

Best wishes...
