Dear wildoceanflower:

You wrote about your mother: “She supposedly wanted us to do well but when we did we were torn down”- that would create in a child fear of doing well, fear of being torn down.

You wrote: “I am finding it difficult to write answers easily..what i think seems to change all the time. I feel i dont know what i think”- this has been going on for a long time, for you, it being difficult to think clearly, not being calm enough to gain insight. In your distress, you obsess about your “old love”, your ex.

In the last post, you venture to the topic of age and the president of France because you are too distressed to consider more relevant issues.

How can a wild ocean flower relax, become calm and peaceful, I wonder, so that she can think clearly and come up with answers and insights into the relevant issues, so to be able “to move forward” (in the title of your thread)?
