Do you guys get moments of clarity

[fusionoflove]

When I first started therapy I felt distant from my body. Like I was looking through a window of sorts. I was all thought. I felt locked inside my head.

I've noticied that between the start of recovery and now I get what I call moments of clarity. During those times I feel that my body and mind have melted together. Now that I haven't had a panic attack in 10 days, those moments of clarity are becoming more commonplace. Sometimes I'm in one and don't even realize it. I feel like I'm me again.

Does anyone here experience the same thing or something similar? I'd like to think this is a part of intergration. Is there a techinical name for this or what do you, brothers, call this?

Thanks and take it easy,
Fusion

Fusin,

I am not quite sure how to answer you on this one because I do not live with ongoing panic attacks. My M.O. is avoidance and ignoring the past. When I do have a Panic Attack, a few a week, maybe only one Bad one in a week or so, I feel so seperated from reality and myself, so I suppose it is like the opposite of you "no longer looking through the window" and for me being so sporadic I seperate from the ME and start looking through my window.

I guess I am saying is I think you are experiencing a normal experience. I am glad the fog is starting to lift or clear. I am not sure how I would deal with this "full time", you are a strong person!

PEACE! GOD BLESS!

Fusion,

Whatever it's called, it sounds like it's doing you good. You can make up a name if you really need one for it. "Moments of clarity" actually has a nice ring to it, if you ask me.

Thanks,

Joe

Moments of clarity. Ahh. Gotta love 'em.

They make me feel that I am at peace with myself. Something that I never imagined would ever happen. An absolute blessing.

Take care,
Bill

 

Yeah. I have them to. Intermixed with the panic and anxiety attacks.

The first real moment of clarity for me was realizing what had happened to me was what f***ed me up so bad.

I have them more and more now. And I'll bet you will too.

Here for you guy.
