thank you,, it is a lot better now

Quote by IAMLOVE
I've found that a lot of times the answers we search for are inside of us if we put fear aside. I'm working on my memories from my past, from different time periods because my subconscious is hiding quite a lot still. I'm remembering tiny bits and pieces because I'm no longer afraid of what I will find. I only want to find the truth. I've experienced and had to endure a lot, more than the worst things that I can remember. It's like I have amnesia, but not really. It feels like it sometimes.I do know I'm stronger in all ways than I've ever been and I've had to work very hard to get there.

I hope that whoever is posting or not posting in here, can find the strength to resolve some of their issues. Find what makes you happy, not sad. Focus on the good if you can. Be free, if you can find a way, do it!

and when you do....................................

I just want to say thank you. I know what it's like for your subconscious to block a lot of memories. I also know when they are revealed they can be very painful. Sometimes it's at the most inopportune time to come to light. I hope you find what you need and send lots of strength to you to be able to deal with what you find. Lots of hugs and positive energy sent your way.

Feeling a little lost and helpless...

I am a pretty private person and do not share a a lot with many people. Today is a different day.

Suicide is difficult to talk about, especially with children, no matter the age.

My seventeen year son received the tragic news Tuesday night, that his father had passed away. We got the call on Sunday morning that his father was in ICU, unresponsive and in a medically induced coma; they said his heart stopped. The social worker and his Grandmother told him, it was not looking good. My son had a difficult choice to make, fly to Ohio and say goodbye to his father or stay until here, until he passed and then attend the funeral. My son decided he did not want the last memory of his father to be in a hospital, hooked up to machines keeping him alive

My son started the grieving process and was on a roller coaster of emotions during this first couple of days. We were getting everything ready for him to fly out on Wednesday. He still had unanswered questions, after a phone call to his Grandmother, he was finally told that his father was found with a cord around his neck. The shock and confusion he felt was overwhelming and my sweet boy broke down in state of pure raw grief.

My thoughts are: no matter how painful the truth might be, please do not lie, or hold back information about how a parent has passed away. In trying to do what his father’s family was “best for my son”, they turned his world upside and sideways, with this information. The grieving processing he had stared, after the first call was washed away with the truth. He is now on a new path of grieving, one that has left him, angry, confused, heartbroken and extremely hurt.

As his mom, I hurt for him and want to help him through this. Honestly, I want to wrap him in my arms and never let him go. It’s unrealistic, I know. What I can do is get him to talk to with a grief therapist and be there for him and tell him how much I love him.

I know it gets said many times, but please, if you know anyone suffering from depression, please be there for them. Encourage them to talk with someone they trust or a professional. Depression is a ugly part of life and one that hits many homes across the world. One I wish with all my heart did not exist.


Take care of those you love and be kind to one another…

I've had a low week. Maybe two.

I only had three close family members at the start of the year. Now I have one and she's sick. It's probably not like the other two (cancer), but I'm scared, worried, exhausted, and wish I could just stop.

Send me love?

My mind is behaving badly. I am dealing with a few difficult things. Taking care of aging parents, one with dementia and some other things. But the thing that is crippling me is the disappearance of one of my cats. I have two and they are both indoor cats. One got out accidentally three weeks ago. We have searched and searched and made flyers and called every animal hospital, etc. The problem is when I would come home just about undone by other things Apollo would be there and he would always know when I needed him. To not know what happened to him and not have him by my side is unhinging me and I can't afford that now. Old ways of thinking and behaving are trying to reappear. I know things could be worse, but anyone who has ever loved a pet might understand. There is nothing that I or anyone else can do. I just needed to vent and here seemed like a good place at 3 am when I can't sleep of course. Apollo's brother keeps trying to find him in the house too and that makes me even sadder. Sigh.... Maybe he'll make it home one day or someone has him and they are taking care of him. It just makes everything else harder.

I'm hoping six days later, that things are at least a little better. I'm sending you unsolicited hugs.

Quote by Simmerdownchick
I'm really struggling today. When I was a child, betrayal was something I experienced daily. I'd cry myself to sleep almost every day, and at school, I made sure to walk with my head down so that I could avoid eye contact with the bullies who recognized my vulnerabitiy. I woke up with my demons this morning. I'm feeling like that little girl today, and my heart aches for her
