The reason I find showering so difficult is that I spend most of my time over-stimulating myself so that I push down my feelings and can get through the day without having to deal with too many difficult emotions. When showering I can only really do one thing at a time, and that leads to thoughts and feelings rushing through my head. I'd just been reading the Natural Parents Network newsletter, so those thoughts/feelings when showering a few minutes ago were about adoption. Ouch.

I am going to try and get away from my computer and just sit for a bit, for 5 minutes every day. I'll knit or scribble in a notebook or something, I'm not ready for meditation or anything quite yet!

Sometimes coping mechanisms get out of hand.
