Going around now trying to figure out the meaning I realised my stupidity. I'm not able to do much because of ill health. Which has nothing to do with indolence and to do with lowering stress so I dont fall to bits from mental illness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4084876361608306937.post-89672815221978815852011-05-07T06:15:00.499-07:002011-05-07T06:15:00.499-07:00I don't feel any comfort in your pain and sadn...I don't feel any comfort in your pain and sadness, but I do feel comfort in knowing that I'm not the only one dealing with things like numbness. I've been told I have "secondary ptsd" and every day is a struggle. I think that you do feel those people's pain. Maybe you just have a wall up to protect yourself, but your compassion says so much. I hate that people treat you differently when they should be embracing you and your husband. Nobody better judge you for this, that's all I know! I hope you are doing ok. I know that you probably just take it one day at a time, because that's what I do. Always praying for you guys (hugs)Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705934119251464695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4084876361608306937.post-4867064067401089242011-05-06T20:36:13.866-07:002011-05-06T20:36:13.866-07:00It is like that country song when the woman sings ...It is like that country song when the woman sings that her "give a damn" is busted or when the tinman feels he needs a heart. You feel that your compassion is gone, but I think it is just growing and getting re-defined. When our physical body grows quickly at the beginning of puberty we ache all over and some days even cry from the growing pains. I think the experiences you have had thrown at you have caused your mental/emotional entity to grow at such a rate that you ache all over. And like a preteen trying to become use to their new body, you have to adjust to your new reality. We all have strengths in very different areas and the best we can hope for is to surround ourselves with people who compiment our strengths and WEAKNESSES. Love to you and yours!!Dana Welchnoreply@blogger.com
