Apologies for the late response, but no need for apologies (from your side). I’m doing much better though. I just appreciate you talking to me. Even if bad feelings are there (sometimes they are, sometimes they aren’t), rarely are they the only feelings present. For me, at least.
I think your 4 hour technique is a great self-help tactic.
One self-help practice that I’ve started to do is I like to visualize a stack of cards, that represent most if not all of the emotions/feelings that I’m able to pinpoint at any given time, both positive and negative. In my head, I take the stack, and deal out the cards. Seeing which ones are positive, and which are negative. And then I’ll put all the positive at the top, and then negative at the bottom. Which I represent as me focusing on the positive, but also not ignoring the very real negative feelings that I’m feeling. I call it prioritization, but that concept has many other names. That’s not to say the negative cards aren’t in the deck. They’ll most likely always be in the deck. Then I visualize myself shuffling the cards, which represents me acknowledging that I’m feeling what I’m feeling without acting upon those feelings right at that moment. This gives me time to rationalize for an appropriate amount of time, but not too much.
That probably sounds weird to you, but I find it helps quite a bit. Granted I’ve kinda always been optimistic about the future, but that’s not to say I don’t straight up freak out sometimes about it lol.
I didn’t particularly mind sleeping through most of those days, but it definitely wasn’t something I’d say would be “ideal” for me. At least concerning dealing with processing day to day emotional stuff and stress. I do like napping though, but that’s strictly a hobby lol
