Snuggling with the pups is self soothing.
Taking a klonopin is distraction. (Ok, that one is clear.)
Relaxation and calming my mind are a distraction, possibly because I calm the thoughts right out of it. Ok. But meditation is good. I don't totally get that.
Exercise is the good sort. Orgasm is the bad sort. I definitely don't get that. Would orgasm be the good sort if it was relationship related?
An enthusiasm is the bad sort.
Forgetting sleeps are the bad sort.
Obsessive fears are the bad sort (ok, I'll agree with that).
But I don't know more of the good sort. Meditation is good, but I don't understand why. How is it different from the relaxation I do so well?
Snuggling with the pups is the good sort. That's the only thing I know for sure. But if I snuggle with the pups and a good tv show, would that be the bad sort?
Is therapy self soothing or a distraction?
Ok, I know that all the things I do are wrong. But they're not nearly as specific telling me what's right. And why is exercise supposed to be so good for it? When I physically exercise when I'm upset, my upset just takes on a rhythm.
I'll never understand any of this if I live to be C.
