Remarkable silence - it's good

[RICK57]

Hello again everyone and thank you all for your continuing support.

As some of you are probably aware, I was a bit of a mess around the middle of December last year. I have come on in leaps & bounds...people tell me I am laughing again (real laughter).

The amazing thing is that for as long as I can remember I have had constant noise in my head...adult me arguing with inner child / poor teachers / bosses/ etc...etc.

Since starting therapy, that noise has gone, and I keep experiencing this amazing silence. It means that every now and then I have this totally chilled feeling, but I am tempted to fill this silence with noise or activity. Has anyone else gone through this stage and what did you do?

It is pleasant in a strange way, but I am used to being hyperactive, using one type of noise or activity to drown out all the other noise. Is it OK to just sit & do nothing for a while?

Does this sound daft? ...Rik

It doesn't sound daft to me--but I have not yet experienced the silence, but hope It won't take death for me to experience it.

Bob - thanks ..at least you know what I mean by 'the noise'... a lot of my friends don't understand that (they try).

Best wishes ..Rik

Rick,

I am glad the noise and internal conflict have quieted themselves. Enjoy it. It is a wonderful feeling.

I absolutely love the new found tranquility in my mind. It was hard to get used to, at first I thought I was extremely tired, even though I had a good night's sleep and showed no other signs of being tired. Once I realized it was the a calmness, I'm really enjoying it. Some days the stuff comes back, in a much lighter manner than had always been there, but doesn't last very long.

Sit back and enjoy, enjoy life, get some new good memories to cherish,

Bill

it's the sound of all those lies echoing around - and I won't say "the empty space !

Or maybe it was an empty space and now it's full of good things

The quiet, where you don't feel a thing. You're allowed to live your life without a worry, without your mind running in circles, I felt that silence not to long ago. God how I miss it dearly. I know how you feel, when you're alone and there is nothing to worry about, but something tells you to worry, thats when it gets worse.
