Shadow Work: This Is My Answer

2/2/2014

These recent feelings of disconnectedness have been a concern for me lately but I believe’ve finally found the solution to my current situation. My epiphany came (as many do) while I was taking my morning shower. The following is my stream of consciousness as I contemplated the situation:

“I feel like a stranger in a foreign land. I feel as if I just don’t belong; that others don’t understand me and I’m seeking company with those who can and do. It’s like when I was a stay-at-home Mom to my children when they were little. Yes, it is exactly like that! And I was excited when my husband came home and we could have some ‘adult’ conversation and I would get help. Yes. It’s like that!

Am I Dexter?!

My husband and I have been watching the TV series Dexter on Netflix and it has been bringing up some questions for me about myself. The show is based on the novels written by Jeff Lindsay. If you haven’t ever heard of or watched the show, let me give you a brief description of the plot. Dexter Morgan is the main character and he is a blood spatter pattern analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department. He is also a serial killer. Each week there is a case the police department is working on and we see that Dexter has a ‘code’ where he kills only the guilt parties that the police are unable to convict. We also receive back story on Dexter and his family, and usually there is an over arching storyline that weaves each episode. We are enjoying the show but as I said, it is bringing up some questions about myself from myself. These questions are mostly about my own mental health.

Life can be overwhelming at times and it can be difficult to focus on others when it feels as if our own stuff is in disarray. And to be frank, I don't think or feel that the majority of others would be interested in the thoughts that bounce around in my head during the day.
