  5. I don't know where to go

    I don't know what to feel

    I don't know what to do

    I don't know who I am

    I am just that scared sometimes.

      Hi, I know how hard it is to be in that place. You are brave to share your feeling. And also to continue therapy even when you don't see the light at the end. You're not alone. We're all here hoping for you that you will get better. 

    4. BraveOne

      BraveOne

      @robynpi thanks for understanding

      @elisand thanks for dropping by. Just had an eerie thought that you wpuld have had to be in therapy with me yesterday to know that about the light at the end of the tunnel not being there yet but then again I'm sure some of my other post lately may have lead to that too not real sure. Apperciate the support and everything

  6. Snowed in this should be so much fun!

      We're supposed to have 10 inches the running joke is this is snowmegeden 2016

      The running joke for 2016 is also that 2016 has been THE worst year, so Snowmageddon would make sense.

      Been the best year so far business wise personally not so great for me but my bus is thriving

  7. Feeling unwanted and unlovable tonight... Realized today that I'm like a carton of eggs on the outside I look fine but if you take a moment open me up you'll find some of my eggs are broken and I'm really messy inside at the moment.

      There is a form of pottery where you fill the cracks with gold to make all new designs on them. You're not broken, you're healing, your cracks and scars are being replaced with shimmering splendor. And it is a process. <3

      Thanks guys still struggling with the same problems a few days later

      I think at times we all feel that way but you do belong, we all belong. We may share different point of views but that is what each  special, like I say the world can only handle one Patricia, funny how everyone agrees :lol:

  9. These things weren't my fault, I wish I could believe it all the time every day I get a little bit better one step at a time.

  15. Some days doing the best you can is just getting out of bed, getting dressed and going about your normal routine.

     

  16. Well I'm super happy I'm not contagious I did find out this horrible rash swelling and itching is a bad allergic reaction to something, I should be ok soon hopefully all the otc medications and the rx the dr told me to take will get me less itchy and grouchy by tomorrow I hope anyways

      i think our pain is worth a lot. it's real. it's experiencing ourself in a painful way. Hard to explain. I'm not saying we should want it

  22. I need someone to talk me out of doing something I know is stupid and will only hinder my progress in my recovery.  An ex and I just decided to meet up before new year's and I know with him evertime we meet up it leads to doing other things I'd like to but he is like a drug to me and once is one to many but one more is never enough.

      Remember how you feel every time afterward. You can do better than him. You owe yourself that.

      I agree with wolf 

    3. BraveOne

      BraveOne

      I agree with both of you can't believe I am having such a hard time with this. It probably won't happen anyways cause I've been struggling so bad with touch lately so even if we do meet I won't be able to touch him

  23. Its ok to be scared, it means your about to do something really brave.

    1. Free2Fly
