Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Shannon]

A little US/LM 2 update:

I don't have a journal so I'll leave it here. The first cycle of 6 loops for 6 days went pretty well, I was able to get all loops in pretty easily. During the week it seemed like the sub really helped level out my confidence and getting in my own way internally, which I do a lot since I'm an introvert. This week however I didn't overthink anything and had a more laid back attitude and less caring about how I thought people perceived me. Also had one of the more productive weeks at work that I've had over the last couple of months.

Now that I'm on my second off day, I feel like all of my anxieties and worries about not being included in things are popping up again and are really starting to bug me. When I feel this way, I tend to think I'm alone and have nobody to turn to. Hopefully this goes away with more time on the sub and the FRM.

In the beginning, that is normal. Over time you'll note that that stops happening on your days off.

The key is that the FRM has to make the changes permanent, but you also need to take breaks for rest and processing time.

I strongly suggest that you stay with a sub that has FRM for at least 3 months to make the effects long term.
