1) I love you and wish that...Okay so a few things. <br />1) I love you and wish that you didn't have to experience that internal battle which feels as though it will break you into two pieces or at the most into billions of little pieces that one becomes afraid they will never be able to pick up.<br />2) Any SSRI (if that is what you're on) can take up to 3-6 weeks for them to actually work. Frankly, for some they don't work or it just takes the edge off. If one is not working then I would see if perhaps another can be prescribed as some meds work better than others with different people's chemistry.<br />3) I understand so well the feeling of isolation. The feeling that no one REALLY understands and they just nod carefully and act as though things are totally fine. Unless of course it makes them go out of their way. The fact is...they don't understand. They will never understand. The internal battle that goes on is something that others, who've never experienced can truly understand. Perhaps one can sympathize but not really empathize and unfortunately it often seems like there is a time limit or behavior limits which must somehow be followed. If only they knew the LONGING of which one desires to not want or end up reacting in some of the ways they do. If only they know how much there is our own internal condemnation that seems to swallow us at times which is only exponentially raised when we're called out negatively about it. If only others knew. For myself I try to remember that I don't understand how they feel either to have to watch someone go through something they don't understand. <br /><br />I hope that this makes sense. I love you so. I truly do and while I cannot say I understand what you're going through exactly I do understand some of those emotions you're having and its awful.Gretchennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12566943.post-54178779330705364112011-06-13T19:28:14.482+00:002011-06-13T19:28:14.482+00:00Oh my dear friend, Helen. My heart aches for you....Oh my dear friend, Helen. My heart aches for you.<br /><br />I think I agree with Jenn...the little bits that come out mean that those bits don't need to be stuffed back in. I do hope "the thing" will at some point be gone, for good.<br /><br />As always I am sending my love across the pond to you. xxxxTired Mom of Sixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18438220534152871308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12566943.post-81262696883834546002011-06-13T13:47:29.347+00:002011-06-13T13:47:29.347+00:00Helen - You know I <3 you - even when the thing...Helen - You know I <3 you - even when the thing escapes. It has to escape a little bit. Every bit that comes out, is one less bit to be stuffed back in.<br /><br />I think you're kind of in limbo right now - and can't even begin to settle your head until the rest of you are settled in a proper house - Once that is done - then you can start working on the Thing. It won't be a magic "Oh we have a house, and now the Thing is gone" - but I do think it will be such a burden lifted that the way to get rid of the Thing will become clearer - and the Thing will start to go away. <br /><br />I think of you often. Good thoughts - so there's that. You can still make me whistle snort, despite The Thing. Stupid Thing. Just go away already!! <3 you and am praying for good things to happen this week!! xx<br /><br />j.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02149048192796015117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12566943.post-74727401838719268812011-06-13T09:07:51.618+00:002011-06-13T09:07:51.618+00:00Dear H

It's obviously not working.<br />Where in your blog do you tell of the 'something horrible' that 'is kept stuffed down', mah dear?<br /><br />I want to read about it. If it isn't in here, will you ever consider writing about it?<br /><br />Peace....at least for a moment dear girl,<br /><br />MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12566943.post-89378766586505127552011-06-12T21:25:01.133+00:002011-06-12T21:25:01.133+00:00...and your friends will cry with you.
