Here's to calmer and more solid-feeling times! I think there's a whole lot of connecting with my SO and self that could be worked on, in all the ways you all describe.

If you are talking about emotionally and spiritually then I'd suggest a road trip with a hotel stay....a cheap hotel where there isn't anything to do but sit around with one another and talk. On a road trip people revel the most personal things, stuff they wouldn't otherwise say. Road trips are good for getting stuff out in the open. By nature we just open up on the road. The road has a free feeling to but the car offers safety and privacy. People naturally open up under those circumstances. Your comment about the world not feeling solid makes total sense form a person who dissociates a lot. That comment is clear as a bell. My other thought is this, if you're talking about not knowing your body physically and sexually then my thought is that the issue is one of PTSD. Fortunately there are tons of PTSD manuals but time and a heck of a lot of work will have to go into the healing process of "knowing" and being comfortable with that knowledge. until again, Austin I am uncertain if you are talking about getting to know one another physically or emotionally and spiritually.

Sometimes during those times it's hard to remember that calmer times did exist and may even happen again in the future. I think when there's so much of everything at once (even if some are good) and not eating/resting enough it can wear out/discourage even the most "solid". I hope you get a little eating/resting/gardening/looking out the window time. I hate those “onslaught” times.

My suggestion-- take time away from the brain drains & distractions-- for my household, it's the computer and the television. Just hang out and talk-- whether sitting together on the porch or hanging out in bed. Talk about things. Every thing. From the insignificant to the deep and taboo.
