dearest smjtty, I just saw your poem now. I'm worried about you. I am not one of the passers by. I care about you as a friend who is hurting deeply. I see the names of all the cats that loved you unconditionally. I hope knowing someone cares about you helps some. I pray the angels will keep you safe. Look out your window today at our 1st beautiful fallen snow. I'm not far from you and will look out my window as well. At 3pm, let's both look out the window and watch the snow falling for a few moments you will know you are not alone. I will be with you x
If you are in all day and tend to nap or fall asleep on the couch, it will be harder to sleep at night. Then again when something is bothering you, it's pretty hard to turn that thought off and fall asleep. I know meds have given you a problem in the past but meds aren't always the answer. Smjtty, have you tried listening to relaxation videos on YouTube? They are very comforting and within 10 minutes should be able to relax you mind some so that you could fall asleep. There are others on the forum who have trouble sleeping. Are you afraid of the nighttime? I'm here if you want to continue our chat. x
Are you afraid you will never have any friends because of that? Is there anyone you see or talk to on occasion. Just being Agoraphobic for years made me feel lonely. Once I started getting out again it really helped. I'm not in your shoes so I can't imagine what you are seeing when you look in the mirror. There are so many people who have been burned or have some disfigurements of some kind but they have people around them. I think that may be a big part of the problem smjtty, sitting in that house watching time passing you by. Then you can't help feeling lonely, angry and scared. Besides medication, wouldn't talking therapy help some? No matter what is wrong with our life, we cannot just let it slip by. Life is so precious. Things happen for a reason, I believe. Whatever the reason, we have to try and figure out where we go from there. We can't sit and say "Why me"... You sound like an intelligent woman, your resources aren't being put to good use. I see you as being a mentor for woman in abusive relationships or burn victims. It would be good for you to share you own personal story and heartache. At least you might feel as though you are contributing to society. My theory is that there is always something we can do with what we've been given, good or bad. It might make you feel better volunteering to read to seniors, visit patients who have no family and on and on. It gets you out of the house, helps others and makes you feel more confident. Just a thought dear, just a thought. x
Oh smjtty. That's what I thought, you are stuck in that house day after day. It is perpetuating the loneliness. Does anyone check on you at all? The city, friends or family? If I were able to, I would come and visit you. You need someone you feel comfortable with. Well, I'm going to watch some tv and then shovel snow later. Thinking of you smjtty Take care please. x
dear smjtty, It must be Friday because I find myself looking for your poems. I feel it is good for you to express what you are feeling in your heart. The hurt and emotional pain. When you write your feelings it is like a cleansing to your soul. It also helps others who may not understand your pain but can support your loneliness. None of us have any control over the past. But we can do something about today. We can be here for each other on the forum. As strangers we don't have to hide from because our words are written but our faces are not seen. There is no rhyme or reason as to what happened to you but maybe just maybe we can make it hurt a little less by letting you know you are not alone. Thinking of you. Agora1 x
