Wisewoman,

I saw your post first and was compelled to reply as I feel that I can really relate. I know what it is like to give up, to go weeks upon weeks without a shower or bath, only washing my hair 1x/week, and generally stopping any type of self care. I just had given up. I had no close friends for support and was lonely. To tell the truth, my closest friend was my dog. My parents never noticed nor even cared to ask (i was 19). I tried but for some reasons the tears just would not come. In a way, I was numb and really could no longer feel and was afraid that my existence was what I had to look forward to the rest of my life.

Sounds like we have much in common. Please PM me if you want to talk. I am sure to write back as I truly care.

Take Care Dear One,
Peacemaker (Sherri)
