I heard this great quote on a tv show that is sure to wind up as a tattoo on me soon enough:
We never bury the dead, son. Not really. We take them with us. That's the price of living.
I guess I do it on an overboard level like everything else in my life. Even pain consumes me because I'm my mind I don't need help (though I do). I let myself think that I am better, that I can do things alone. I have created a cave for myself, in so many more ways than one. I am human too, I have deep dark pain and sadness that keeps me held back from real life. I have had so many bad things happen that make me question things many times over. Seems as if it's almost a joke or even a test, not really sure.... To live in a world that I have created because I need control at all times???? Not sure if this is the way to live. I know I am rambling but this is one of those times where I'm letting my mind type rather than my fingers. If you know what I mean!!! I am going to probably say my last goodbye to my father today. I am hurting....

Underground, your difficulty with letting go is truely not uncommon. I don't think that your mind is saying you don't need help and yet you do, it's probably more that you don't believe anyone can help you. I think everyone has a cave they hide in tbh, a place no one else gets to know about.
Most people try to create their own world where they can have a sense of control as much as possible. As people get older they slowly learn to accept that nothing is ever perfect and life can go on even when something isn't perfect.
