Prayer Request
First I would like to thank everyone who has prayed for me, I've posted a few requests here and they always seem to yield good results. I posted here a few years ago under another user name about some buried memories, I was convinced I had some kind of trauma at some point and I was really having troubles. After I posted here a string of events led me to go to church for the first time in about 25 or 30 years. This led to me finding counselors there, after having tried many times to find someone to talk to about my problems. Science had unexpectedly and persistently failed me, and I didn't really expect much from a church or from Christian sources. But they really helped a lot, and my life is much richer for having gone through the counseling and church experience.
I was soing pretty well for over a year and then hit a snag. I let the counseling go, I think because I had gotten too much to handle. I just had to pull back. In the mean time a lot more memories have begun to see the light of day, and it's no wonder I was getting overwhelmed.
This request is because of something that happened yesterday, I put 2 eggs on the stove and walked away, somehow forgetting I'd left them there. They boiled to black and smoked up the house. This is not the first time that's happened, it started in the late 1990s. This is not just a case of being forgetful, because it's connected sometimes to very tearful episodes of being upset at some point when I am alone. I just don't see it coming and whatever the emotional episode is connected to, it keeps me from staying in contact with my thoughts of what I'm doing now.
I am not so much worried about the emotions coming because I work through it for now by journalling and plan to go back to counselling at some point. I am worried a little because leaving something on the stove again happened, I've burned a few batches of this and that since the years I mentioned. Again it's not just a matter of being more careful, it's remembering better what happened.
But I'm going to house-sit for a friend during the Easter break and I want to make sure I'm not going to do anything stupid. As I say, this seems to be specific to my mom's house where I live now. I've lived in two other places since it's been happening and it's never happened in either place, and I've house and animal sat for other friends and cooked plenty but it's never happened. Just at my Mom's house.
I just told my friend about it, the one whose house I will be staying in, on Facebook chat. She didn't reply, and I think it's just because something came up while she was on the computer. I hope she's not nervous.
Thanks for your prayer in regard to the situation as always.
