Thank you for that, Open Eyes ...

I do tend to get extremely despondent and discouraged, especially when I feel there is no one I can talk to about what it feels like to live with the complexities of Complex-PTSD ... I mean, PTSD is hard enough, but the added layers of C-PTSD is simply just too much sometimes ... And, to feel unable to talk about it to others because it would be too much for them to tolerate (and could quite possibly end up wounding them as well) makes for a lot of misunderstoodness ... Alas, if only understanding the intellectual aspect of it could actually heal the emotional aspect of it ... Kinda gets cold and lonely out here in Othernessville ... Yet, I know I'm not the only one living out here, and the saddest part of all is that those of us living out here in it are too afraid to connect with one another because of it ... Thus compounding the heartache and loneliness of it!
