Suppose so. Very tiring. T hasn't called back. We called wife, and now
she's all worried. She wanted to come home early for us. Told her to
just stay at work. Our feet are so cold, even cramping, and we're
wearing shoes, but hands are warm almost tingley. :/

Maybe tomorrow. Is her day off anyways. Maybe we should call the crisis
line in her voicemail message?

Nah, not pathetic. Just coping and overwhelmed.

Here's something to try. Sit quietly and pretend your feet are in a
tub of nice warm water. Maybe close your eyes to really feel how warm
the water is on your feet. Or pretend your feet have on toasty warm
heated socks that are warm and soft.
The point is that you can use biofeedback to increase blo*d flow to
your feet and heat them up. It is a technique used to get rid of
headaches by changing blo*d flow to different parts of your body.
You can also make body parts feel cold by pretending you have them in
cold water or are holding ice in your hands or whatever.
It does take practice so don't expect to get it just right the first
few times you practice. It also takes repeated practice to be
consistent. I once had hour long sessions three times a week for two
months to learn this. I still practice it at home on a regular basis.
i think that is briiliance. i think you have the right response
(crying and laughing) but it is because you have the capacity for
that understanding that you are so opposite of pathetic. really.
suffering doesn't mean you're pathetic. it means you're hurt. and yet
you still have the capacity to see and know stuff that a lot of people
don't or can't pay attention to.
maybe no one else feels like this but to me knowing that the world is
more insane than sane the less nutz i feel. and the greater my
capacity to care without being destroyed by it.
i think it is when you can't see it but you just feel insane, that's
when you're in trouble.
betsy
have you ever tried it and found it helpful?

(well, Afrika encourages us to)
we use it to help headaches

Haven't ever called this one. None of the others have ever been helpful.
Didn't do it anyways.
