Dear Anita

I’ve re-read some of your replies on how to manage feelings and behaviors and on The Magnifying Glass. One thing I’m specifically trying is to show myself empathy and staying mindful of the present moment by accepting whatever I’m feeling and the reality around me.

I’ve also another, personal, input: the way I live is very “in-my-mind”, on autopilot, dissociated, celebral. These are the words I felt like saying, and instinctively I’d also suggest that what I need is break from electronic devices, be more aware of the world around me, slow down, be mindful. I’ve mentioned other times to you how I don’t even feel like a person, everything that makes a person a person (hobbies, relationships, experiences, opinions, likes and dislikes…) Feels shattered, arrested, out of center, existent &non existent in and out of me. These words I’m using are very instinctive. I definitely feel the need to look at myself in the eyes, connect, feel tangibly and in a solid way what makes me me and not just let it races around in my mind. Did you also feel like this? What do you think about it?
