A Huge Thank You for all your good wishes

[CDreamer]

Thank you so much for all the numerous messages of good will, I feel very overwhelmed and humbled checking in this morning.

I am feeling somewhat stronger but not ready to come back yet but I am OK.

We all have history and our emotional life impacts literally into our body and I have been working with this stuff for over 40 years - and still it can take one small comment to press that button in my body which sparks all sorts of reactionary and negative emotions. When that happens nowadays my body goes into overdrive and starts to shut down physically. Thankfully these days I can recognise the pre-cursors and take preventative action to avoid a full shutdown - which is what happened to me a few days ago. No-one was abusive or intentionally rude but one certain thread - which Rachel Admin picked up on - just touched that button for me. This phenomenon has been labelled as ‘over sensitive’ by many and that can be my button.

If anyone doesn’t understand this phenomenon you need only download the last episode of The Hospital and look at the work on Functional Neurological Dysfunction at the Walton Centre in Liverpool as to the extremes this may present as. Luckily I am well supported and am having a virtual healing session tomorrow with someone I have been working with for some time.

I will be working on my own for the next few days but rest assured also bearing all you lovely people in mind. There is an old saying - Healer, heal yourself. Never has this phrase been more true. There is a growing community around the world who believe that we must all now come together and that we may only heal this very battered world we inhabit by healing ourselves first.

I really don’t want any responses to this blog - I don’t care if you agree or disagree so to conserve my energies I won’t be responding to this or any other thread for the time being but know that I love and care about you all.

Stay safe and please all be there when I get back.

A special thanks to those who messaged me. 💓CD.

Good to hear from you. You are brilliant on this forum and I for one do not want to lose your input. Take time to heal and when you feel ready we will still be here. Literally not going anywhere.

All the best my friend,

Des

I completely get that as I think I am the same. I believe being a nurse 43 yr, I got so tuned in to peoples feelings said and unsaid, that I am super sensitive to any hint of meanness, condescension or just insensitivity in others. It hits me even harder if the ugly stuff is directed at someone I see as more defenseless.

I too have to withdraw and process what my visceral reaction is all about. Take good care our friend.💜

Oops, just noticed you said no responses...
