processing

When people say that they have processed something, be it an experience or an emotion, what does that actually mean? How do you know that you have processed something? I am kind of just now realizing that I don't actually have the greatest grasp on this concept. I've always thought of it as meaning that you no longer ruminate on something but you also no longer push it away. But now I'm not so sure because people seem to talk about processing things in the span of weeks to months when for me processing literally always takes years if it happens at all. Am I confused? Am I just a slow processor? #processing #Emotions #Grief

There was a uniquely horrific episode in Israel Thursday night. I feel like regardless of a person’s political or religious affiliation one has to feel deeply sad and empathetic of the bereaved families. So many young men. So many children. So many people who will never return to their families and so many who will never be the same. A time like this displays the best and worst of humanity. From the optician who is replacing glasses for free to the people who set up tables with food and drink at the road side.
The worst of humanity I shall not repeat. There are three things to say. I’m sorry for your loss , how can I help and where can I donate.

I wanted to ask this question bc....I am currently having a #Constantbattle with my #oldself and #Newyourself and I am just tired of the same shit #cycles #behavorialpatterns ..so I am #beinghonestwithmyself and #processing my #Recovery and #Healing bc #INEEDTOGETBETTERFORMYSELFANDMYSON

#PosturalOrthostaticTachycardiaSyndrome

Hello,
I’m new here. I recently went to the doctor and they took my vitals lying down and standing up. My BP stayed normal but my HR jumped from 59 to 104 (I’m a 19 yo female.) After looking at symptoms it appeared I experience every single one of those. I come from a healthy family and grew up incredibly active, but ever since I can remember I’ve struggledwith these symptoms. I managed to push through as a child, but high school is where things got bad. I managed to graduate and get into college. I did one month of college and couldn’t continue and had to take a leave of absence. I was always told it was my anxiety or depression. I normally don’t share my story online like this because I feel selfish, but my bf recently left me and I’m feeling alone. It’s nice to read everyone else’s stories. Thanks for reading if you did! :) #processing #POTS #venting /sharing

This isn't specifically related to chronic illness, but it's a big struggle I'm dealing with right now (or trying to).

I keep letting my boundaries be pushed in order to keep the peace.

I can't believe it's been a year. A year since that night. I feel so much pain I can't make sense of anything else; loss, grief, guilt. Your death has made you more a part of my life...how is that fair? I've been there, I've felt that pain, I've wanted it all to be over and I've thought about how I would do it. Does that bring us closer? Does that make it hurt more? Because I understand, but I'm still here? I made it, I didn't jump...
