andsome more…
i just re-read whatIposted aboutmy thoughtson my crazy brain in relationships andIhad another revalation (damn,i’mon a roll).
I see parallels betweenthe anxiety and build-up of speedof thoughts andtheimpulsivity and the methodical planning that I experience surroundinganew relationship and the same types of thoughts andbehaviors aroundmoving. As Iread the last post I recalledthe anxiety I felt after C. andIhooked up this weekend.I wound up saying I wanted to sleep on the couch because I couldn’t fall asleep. He tookthecouch instead (chivalry is alive and wellin the South,folks) and I could finally relax and fall asleep. That awfulanxiety. That avoidanceofclose contact of stillness of quiet. It’s likeI’mgoingto explode if I have to sit with my feelings. And so I don’t. I bet ifI rereadsomeof my posts prior to moving I’d hearechoes.

Hard to believe there are any chivalrous men left in the world, isn’t it?
He respected your request, and that is more than most would have done. Just breathe and take it slow and trust little by little.
