I am thinking of you @BlueBay
This is a dark day for you - perhaps a dark weekend
Moving at work must remind you that you will be moving your home soon - life is full of challenges and I know you just want some peace
I am up there on your shoulder too - I didn't know your place of work was shifting - ah - does it ever stop

Hi @BlueBay
You asked "How do I repair my soul?" - I would love to answer that - @Former-Member wrote a good answer about God helping you to do that and I agree - but I think for a more practical answer it's what I wrote with my explanation - it is something to discuss with your psychologist - I am sure she has read Hillman on the subject.
Those bad dreams and the racing thoughts you have show you are in a state of change right now that is really hard for you - and I understand -
A few weeks ago my back was giving me a hard time with about as much pain as I could tolerate - a change in my medication helped but my feeling about the pain at the time was "It's hurting because it's hurting" - I think I had so my inflamation there every .little movement pinged and caused more pain
And so I think you are in a similar state because of your dreams and racing thoughts and generally tough time right now - so much is happening that you hurt because you hurt - as if you had inflamation of your thoughts - strange idea but things can hurt because they hurt
It will get better - I promise you - selling that house was a huge deal for you

Go for a really quick walk @BlueBay - just to get the blood pumping a bit and to use up some of the adrenanlin built up through the anxiety. Then come back to me my friend and we'll work on getting you through the afternoon

Well that just really sucks then - bugger @BlueBay
Ok plan B - throw yourself into the packing if you can and use up some of that adrenalin that way. The hardest part for you is putting all those thoughts into the back of your nead and leaving them there for a while - you need to stay as busy as you can for the afternoon so your thoughts don't take over - can you do that BB. Then you can sleep when you get home. I will be with you all afternoon - on your shoulder - telling your thoughts to 'stay away'.
