Feeling Yuck Yuck Yuck!

Today I start my 4th week and I would love for someone to tell me that they felt miserable but then felt better.

I started with listening to the session in a relaxing place in front of a fire early this a.m. and many things struck me for the first time as far as my own expectations. Later, what felt like out of the blue, I got impatient with my son and carried on like a lunatic, felt ashamed all day because of it and now I can't even write anything down or listen to anything because I'm so pissed off and feel like none of this will work anyway.....(I'm not exactly in my HAPPY PLACE....)

Please tell me this is a hurdle. My moods are so much work and I'm thinking of going back on my ADD medication which of course is a stimulant but really seemed to help me a lot.

Any takers on this one? I'm going to get a beer while I wait.....sorry for the bad attitude but at least I'm being honest...

Today I feel exactly the same way you do. I’m on session #8 & I’m going through the same thing. I got so ticked off at work today & I mean I yelled & screamed at this guy I work with. I’m home now & I’m on my 2nd beer & I feel a heck of a lot better after yelling at him. BUT I still have faith in this program that it is still going to work for me. I do have a really bad temper but it takes a lot to get me mad to the point where I explode. Sometimes a person has to take a stand for what they think is right. Anyway all I’m trying to say is I think it is just a hurdle like you say. We are only human & we will get mad & say things that we don’t mean. It doesn’t mean the program isn’t working for us. Don’t get in any hurry to go back to your ADD meds unless you really think that’s what you need.
Give the program a chance & see what happens. This probably isn’t much of an answer but it’s the best I can do.
Take Care,
