So I’m sitting here Sunday night and I’m scared. I’m scared for myself. I’m scared for my life. I’m scared for my finances. I’m scared for my manhood. I’m a 43-year old man and I’m not paying my bills. I’m … Continue reading

I’m Learning To Be Gentle With Myself
I’ve had therapists tell me to be a friend to myself, to be gentle with myself. I understood what they were saying, but I had a hard time practicing it. I was filled with too much self-loathing. While I practiced … Continue reading
I’m Having More CFS Relapses
Since I’ve started Alexander Technique teacher training, I’ve been having more Chronic Fatigue Syndrome relapses than normal. Why? Because I’m pushing myself more. I used to arrange my life so I could stay home 90% of the time and work … Continue reading
