Guest guest Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 CONGRATULATIONS!!! It seems to me that you are on your way of Graduation, you used the self-Correct methods and are taking pleasures for things you would condemn yourself for! But now I send you positive energy and hope you are doing well!

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hi everyone, The last several weeks have been a struggle. Since my mom (who is mentally ill and 69 years old) was raped in the nursing home by another resident I've been binging. I've always used food to deal with stress. I'm now in the process of filing for guardianship of my mom and trying to run a successful Martial Arts school by myself. I did go back to the podcast on self correcting and I'm going to the level 3. Getting professional help. Luckily for me the crisis center offers free counciling services to victims and thier families. While I do have a therapist I love it won't hurt me to give this one a try. If I don't like her I can always go back to the other one. take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Wow , that is very sad news. I'm glad that you can recognize the need for the " level three " . It sounds like you are taking positive action, for your mom, for yourself, and for your business. Just the legal stuff alone is enough to make me go to " level three " . I don't know how well *anyone* could deal with this kind of trauma. Take some time for yourself everyday, get some fresh air, try to connect with friends, and by all means get professional support.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 , I'm sending tons of positive energy your way. this is a huge thing for anyone to have to deal with, and it sounds like you have plenty on your plate already without these added issues. I think being able to recognize the need for professional help and then seeking it out is a huge step in the right direction. You are doing the best you can for your situation, and remember that everything teaches us something. Your food issues now will make you more understanding of them in the future.
