OT:Taking a Time Out

During last semester when I was teaching five classes, taking two, and writing for a publication and for a conference, I thought I was going to die.  One night, I came home and headed straight to the bathroom.  I filled the tub with as hot of water as I could stand, lit every candle in the house and put on the bathtub ledge and turned the light off and just relaxed.  Just taking a few minutes to unwind is all I needed.  I'm like you, I need personal time for just no other reason than sitting. 

Darlene, I am not sure how you know what goes on in my life so well but it seems like you must live in here with me...are you under my bed or in the closet....Darlene, where are you??????

Several months ago I thought that I was going nuts...I sought the help of a therapist and I am so glad that I did. He told me that I knew what I had to do...stop going along with people and their games. I did that and I am so glad that I did. I feel like a sane person now...at least until I fall into the game plays again. I know that it is going to happen but it will be better knowing that I am prepared for it...maybe that will make it not happen so soon.

I have to be capable of loving me when I feel that I am nuts....and realize that everyone goes through times like this. Thanks again for posting...you always seem to hit it on the head.

i had one of those instances yesterday and had to talk to a friend about it this morning......
thank you darlene....
