Outlaw Your post moved me, because I can't seem to cry either, to get it out...instead of my heart I worry about my mental health...like I believe it was Hanna who said she didn't even know herself.. sounds like depersonalization.. sounds like what I have been going through.. I long for the old days too. but I wonder if that is a mistake for me to keep going back and looking at how I was , instead of how I am. There is something at the root of all this for all of us. Chemistry may be one facet but I think there is something for all of us to discover and heal. I think sometimes we are the special people of the world, who can listen to each others wounds and just knowing that even a complete stranger cares enough on the website to answer means something. I fear Im going crazy or will loose touch with reality, but Is it likely to happen know. So why do I waste so much life worrying about. Will my worry change it. I don't think so.. I don't know what to say to comfort you , because I can't comfort myself.... But I think we need to love ourselves more, and treat ourselves more, Reward ourselves when we haven't worried for 10 minutes, do something you really loved to do before the illness. I went fishing the other week ,, I was so scared to go, but I figured maybe if I try to do more of what I used to do , I would start to recapture who I was.
I pray for you Outlaw, that God will reach out and touch you and meet you exactly where you are... Be faithful to him.. no matter what
