I just need to share this: for the first time in so very long, today I actually feel happy. Nothing particularly exciting happened - in fact something unpleasant occurred. It hasn't taken my pleasure away. I had a picnic lunch with another mother and our children. We sat in the sun, on some grass near a playground. We initially sat somewhere else, and were moved on for being inadvertently on "private" land, but it didn't upset me. It was a simple, enjoyable time. And I feel happy. I think I'd forgotten how that feels. I feel light. This is wonderful. Wow!
@eudemonism- please, you owe me no apologies at all. I've watched/read of your struggles, and I've had my own with this site and in real life, so I have had to pull back almost completely to decrease the distress I'm in. I'm extremely close to giving up and doing something about everything.
And I've seen and felt your fragility and not wanting to add to that by talking of my own miseries. I'm sorry things aren't going well for you either. You seem to have a beautiful soul, full of empathy, compassion and a certain spiritual bond with others. Your words are always thought provoking.
Human connection is something I've craved so much this year as it's been so lacking. I don't get touched in any way much at all. No hugs, no handshakes, no touch of a hand on my shoulder to say I'm here for you. It's one of the worst feelings ever. I would so like to be taken into someone's arms, be allowed to feel safe in that space to weep until I was spent, but to have that person just stay with me. Little or no words need to be spoken. Someone to hold me, stroke my hair and wipe away the tears. To not judge or place expectations on me.
Thank you for thinking of me and stopping by for a chat. Please take care
