Making futureplans and then....

[[Si...]]

Hi all,

 

I'm 21 months out and I start being positive about the future and making plans....I feel pretty good when I feel this way ofcourse  but then BAM! it's gone and I get very scared of the future and I think why should I make plans and stuff like that....

Do you recognize this?

Now when I make "plans" I just mark them down as possibilities. There is a concert in one month I would like to see... I may go or if I am not feeling well I will not go. %50 chance I could do something fun... if I can't go, that's ok, I knew that there was a big chance I could not. Nothing lost. Only something to gain if possible.

 

That's how I handle things now. I've felt much better since taking this view.

 

After some time passes, I look at the things I was able to do, and how great they were. Not the things I wasn't. They aren't in the equation.

Simone,

I am 14.5 months out and feeling the same way. Things start feeling better, I have a tiny bit of optimism that things aren't as bad as I think and then suddenly I am back in hell, at the mercy of every dark thought imaginable regarding my future or lack of. I'm sorry you're feeling this way too. It's exhausting. PM me if you'd like to talk about it.

Oh.  My. Gosh. Nail on the head here.  Good way of phrasing it.  "Why should I make all these plans".  Plans seem so silly and superfluous and ridiculous at the moment don't they?  WE HAVE TO HOLD ON.  Love, friend.  love.
