      @Epi hi, I’ve dealt with stuff like this and it can be really hard. Sometimes when self-compassion feels too hard I practice just acceptance and curiosity. Like I’m really anxious right now, this is unpleasant but I’m gonna accept it and try and find a way forward. I remind myself that I am growing and that my feels are valid and sometimes they just need to be experienced. Also I try to think of one practical thing I can do for myself, to distract me, to feel less anxious, etc. I hope some of that helps but if not then I hope you find something that does help!

      Either way it’s ok and we can talk about it if you’d like.

      Epi I’m sorry you’re dealing with a lot of anxiety. Do you know what your triggers are? Sometimes I know what mine are and sometimes I don’t 🤷🏻‍♀️

        @Jomi right now it is the time of year. It will be 11 years since my father passed away.

      When you get stronger ....it attracts the attention of the more darker side of the world ...then your light gets noticed...be strong in your battle ....even the storms have to stop for the sunshine

        @Cancer I am trying to practice self-compassion and not judge myself and am struggling. Do you do anything during those times when you feel that way?
