How do you unload all of the emotional baggage?

Sheila, that's the beauty of this website...we're all in this together.  We know where we have been and where we are going.  You guys understand the things I am going through and have been through better than my husband and children.  They really can't know unless they have lived in my shoes....  We're here for you and we'll all get through this together.    I CANNOT WAIT for you to join us on the "looser's bench".  You are going to be so awesome to be with and watch during your journey down!!!  Have a wonderful day.

Of all of the subjects we discuss on OH emotional baggage is the most ever-evolving self-discovery part of this journey. Sometimes I feel like I am "losing weight" internally (mind and soul) as well as externally (body). It seems to me that all of us here are full of  emotional scars. For me personally I feel like I will need to reprogram my mind with positive input every day to offset the damage. 
 In my case, I have to remember that I can choose to dwell in emotions or I can take some physical action that will break my  thought pattern. It really is a choice. I have choices ...I have choices...I have choices...I have it all if I know I have choices.
You are soooooooooo not  alone on this, Sheila.
