It does make sense.....
What Sannah wrote about me thinking about it a lot is true....but thinking was my refuge from feeling when the world around me was nothing much but pain, pain, pain - and the world within me was pain, pain, pain. Thus I can think these things and have so little ability, so few skills, to actually handle emotion very well or emotional intimacy very well, despite the ability to verbalize well.
In any case, I am so glad these things helped you find some words and insight for your feelings!
Thanks for this!
