I'm sure everyone is getting tired of my "me" posts. I've been under stress going back to work. See professional life. People have been so kind.
Today, I am experiencing an emotion that I don't have much experience with. It's a feeling of "detachment." Very weird.
I'm doing okay at work today. Can't figure out where this is coming from unless it's just all bottled up for so many years???
I don't hope anyone has experienced this bad feeling, but I sure would like to put a name to this.
Love, Emily

Emjay, can you elaborate on what the detachment feels like other than bad? Do you feel removed from the connections to other people? Do you feel detached because you think you are alone?

Princess and Mountain,
I went to my therapist last night. He says this feeling of "being in a fog" is a detachment from the stress of this year starting again. I was so relaxed.
I am forcing myself to go to work. So, I don't really want to be there and all I can really concentrate on is going home.
Sherie will not be on my back as much, because I am no longer the coordinator of the site.
But, I just don't want to be there. Think this is causing the "detachment" feeling.
It's new to me. Well, maybe it isn't and I just haven't felt this way in a long time.
That's the best I can explain this scary feeling.
Blessings, Emily

Emjay, I must commend you on continuing to seek the advice and support of a therapist. I hope you can work through this scary feeling to get to a more comfortable place, whether or not you are at work. L, PL

Emy, please do keep seeing your therapist. Is this detached feeling one of you not wanting to have others around? wanting to be left alone? wanting to be emotionally detached from others? If so, yes I have experienced that and it was very difficult and it did last for some time. I was going through a bad period of depression. My reason for wanting to be detached was that I didn't want to become emotionally attached to anyone, don't let them get close and they can't hurt me. After reading some of your past posts my heart ached for you because you seem to be in so much pain. Keep seeing your therapist and you're going to need to reach deep inside yourself and see exactly what the source of those feelings are and find some way to deal with them and pray, prayer can make miracles happen.

Oh yes I can, Mountain.
Gerrbeck and Mountain and all, yesterday was better.
Maybe I'm just so used to having time to myself that I'm just going through an adjustment period, of sorts.
My normal schedule will be from 7:00 am till 9:00 then 3:30 - 6:30. Some days, I'll be working more hours.
When the kids are out of school, I work eight to ten hour days.
Anyway, that break time gives me time to read or take a nap or just be quiet.
This week and last have been hard due to registrations and set-ups.
I so appreciate all of the help that I'm getting from the kind ladies on this forum.
Gerrbeck, I don't know how to explain how I've been feeling. Just in a fog. Yesterday was better. I hope I keep going in that direction.
Love, Emily
