Just Cannot Join In...

hey there...been a while since i posted last...

i have been really trying to get my life sorted...just really trying to say "f**k you" to dp and dr...

but it is just not working...

i cannot posibly focus anymore outward...

life just feels like a constant distraction...

recently i have had quite a lot of stress and of course this has really made the dp and dr go into overdrive...

i just feel so sick with fear...i feel like choking all the time because of the intensity of feeling so dp'ed and dr'ed...

i just feel like i cannot join in with anything anymore...not even my own thoughts and feelings...everyone just feels so distant at the moment...

everything really does just feel like a complete dream state...

i am so desperately trying with my life...learning new skills at work...trying to do more art work...trying to socialise...

i just do not know where to go from here...

i still see a therapist and all that and that goes quite well...

dunno...just felt like i needed to vent as i have not in a while...

i just want to join in again! stop faking everything and just be me!

any comments would be great..many thanks for reading...

Shadowness, I know how you feel. It probably feels like you are just exhausted from trying so hard to feel better. I had someone say to me one day, oh I am glad I have the day of today because I am so tired out and need a bit of a break. I looked at her and I said gee I too wish I had a day of to because I sure could use a break, she looked at me strangely and said but you don't have a job, why would you need a day off. I but I do have a job I replied I have a job and it is the job of fighting every waking moment in my life to cope with an illness that never lets go. It is a hard job to. She said is that really a job? Oh yes, you bet it is and it is a job that there is no holidays, no coffee breaks, no overtime pay, nothing. You just work, work, work. Shawdoness after she thought about it for a while she said to me, you know I am never going to complain again about needing time off. I am lucky she said.

I know it is painful and it hurts to be in this, please know we are here for you and even though you feel totally spent, it will get better, the sun will come out again and life will look much better. If you isolate yourself you will feel more alone, join us here and share with people who truly understand and care.

gem.
