Thanks! I think you're right, that a lot of people here and elsewhere could relate to this sometimes, even those who are (supposedly) ''healthy'' or ''ok''. Good point!
The conversation wasn't unsatisfactory. I just worry I might have triggered someone. It was another friend who died
And I can't tolerate nearly all the meds, but thanks for the suggestion. Thanks for caring and for replying!
I agree about finding empathy and understanding in others... at least those who count. Good point! And I guess... yeah.... ''self love'' (someone mentioned that to me in a recent reply) although that one isn't easy when that censor/critic is spouting it's stuff.....Distraction is often good but it wasn't working when I wrote that post. Or at night when I can't sleep.
I wish you all the best too, and be gentle with you too!

I'm sorry I can't understand all you are going through but I see you feel like you have failed, so maybe you are adding much self-criticism to the unsatisfactory social interaction that took place on the phone. Please, don't do that, it's like battering yourself against an anvil and won't help your purpose. Everybody wants to do and say the right thing at the right time and be appreciated by others... you and me need less rigidity and more understanding in those situations or we shall break and shatter. Take it easy on yourself, do things and entertain yourself with activities that distract this harsh censor of ours and hope to find empathy and understanding in others, at least those that count... I actually haven't found the right recipe other than medication, I must still improve a lot, and I wish you all the best too. Sorry a friend of yours is not among us anymore. (((Hugs))).
