A Bit of Help?

Hello everyone!

I'm sorry I'm not that active in the group, but I do try as you can tell with this post.

I live with my new boyfriend. After breaking up with my ex and moving back home, a lot's been happening. I met this amazing man who is so much like me, it's stupid.

Anyway, I started to take meds for my depression and anxiety. Overall, my mood has improved greatly, but there are still days where I think I'd be better off gone. Not dead, not at all like that. More like, non-exsistent. Like, a spirit? I guess that's the best way to describe it. I kind of feel like that already, just coasting through life without anyone really noticing me.

I was hoping someone could give me some tips on grounding and finding my center. I feel like that's a big reason why I feel like I'm just floating.

Thanks,

Erde

Hey! I'm not super sure on what you mean because there's no way i could know how you feel, but I do have some basic grounding techniques which you can find in this post https://2345678987654567.tumblr.com/post/158689091724/grounding-techniques
A lot of the time especially on new medication it takes time for everything to settle out, to figure out dosages and how to deal with any type of new feeling, I suggest maybe if it helps try out some new hobbies? Take time to yourself to do things that you like, just to exist and live because it's super important just to do that sometimes.
I hope you start feeling well soon! That something helps make you feel more grounded

Actually, Heather has recently posted a wonderful and well written piece on Grounding. I will link it below for you to read. I apologize for not responding sooner. I hope that you are able to find medications that work better for you. It could be the dosage, it could be this particular medication does not work for you. Either way, I hope you find things that work for you.

Hello Erde :)

So in the link Syren provided above, is how I ground mysef on close to daily basis. It is a really simple way to visualize grounding your energy. Sometimes I will hold a stone that helps to ground and to nutralize or help with protecting against negative energy, like hemetite or obsidian, or any stone you would want to add to help the effects. Another few stones that are good to work with when grounding are: Black Tourmaline, Bloodstone, Jet, or even just a stone of any kind that you picked up from a place you've been that helps you to feel grounded. Of course you don't need a stone to do the exercise, but it may enhance the experience, you can do this with just yourself as well. Cleansing before doing a grounding exercise never hurts too :)

I have been on mood stablizers most of my life, and it has only been in the last 5-8 years that I finally got a good combo of meds that actually help me to function, so you are not alone in this experience. I hope all the best for you! :)

Thank you all so much for the links and just letting me know I'm not alone! It means a lot knowing that, not only do I have my boyfriend to help me out, but that I have this wonderful family to seek information and help from. :)

Hey, so I wanted to let you all know my husband goes before the judge for his disibility in November. It would mean the world to me if I could have you guys pray for us or send us positive vibes. He has nerve damage from his hernia surgery, scoliosis, problens with his ears both having surgeries and not draining right on one, etc. He can't even walk for very long with the pain in his back and groin resonating down his legs. Honestly, I used to provide for us but he needs help around the house and getting around himself. So though I'm stubborn and don't usually ask for help, I could use all I can get this time.

You got it Syren! All kinds of good energy going from me and the hubby to you two! <3
