Just trying to survive day by day.

Vision Board

I met an amazing lady, recently. She is a life coach and does equine therapy, which I haven’t yet done but I am scheduling it. She also does "vision board" sessions. When she asked me about my situation and how I’m handling it, to which my reply was currently hoping for terminal cancer, she suggested I make myself a vision board. Not the kind one would make for setting goals but rather one that lets my inner me decide what I need.

I’ve been through loads of magazines and cut out pictures that make me feel something positive, honestly they were few and far between because pretty much everything just makes me feel awful these days, even things I loved, but I’ve managed to fill a page with these pictures and it does make me smile. My therapist told me to put "I MATTER" across it, which I did after I found some very cute gold letters in my daughter’s box of craft stuff". The pictures are random and I feel like they don’t really signify much but my life coach says they are my inner "gut feel" telling me what I need and where I’m headed. At the very least, it does make me smile when I look at it.

Just thought someone out there feeling lost may like to try this, too.

Newbie

New to the group

Basic back story is Hubby of almost 30 years and former BFF cheated on me (twice that I know of). Trying to heal but having a really hard time.

I started seeing a counselor immediately but the anxiety and grief is overwhelming.

Any words of advice for the anxiety would be appreciated.
