Well kids something is still not right. I don't know what's wrong but I still don't feel right. How do you explain yourself when you can't understand how you feel?

Clinte,

So often I know how you feel and am not sure what to say or what answers to give you. Even now many times I don't understand what I'm feeling, you just learn to explain it by talking to people who care enough to listen.

I suppose so I guess I'll keep talking. I'm still agitated and wore out all at the same time this feeling won't go away.

When you find out, will you please let me know? Because I'm right there with you, and I can't explain it to myself, let alone my family and co-workers who think that because I was fine for over a month, there shouldn't be anything wrong now.

Have you tried journaling?

Just do a brain-dump and see how it feels. Maybe it will help.

If it helps, don't worry about sentence structure or making it sound like a coherent piece of writing.

Instead, just let your thoughts flow. Use bullet points if you want to. Write thoughts without them being complete sentences. Just get your thoughts and feelings out.

And my heart's beating fast
But reaction's slow
Just how long it will last?
There's really no way to know

So tell me something that matters
And show me someone who cares
'Cause when it finally shatters
I'll be climbing the stairs

I write and write and write and write until it makes sense to me, which is sometimes only when I re-read it all hours, days, or weeks later and can pick out and pare down what I really want to say. It's like having a bunch of puzzle pieces dumped out. You try to put them together--but the problem is not all of the pieces are to the same puzzle. But you gotta get 'em all out, so you can make sense of it all and get to only the pieces you need. I, like Purple Daisy, think journaling can be very helpful.

Embark on a journey to know yourself and don't quit until you discover who you are, your thoughts and feelings. Just a suggestion. I am doing it.

that's the problem! I am the same way, I don't understand how it is I am feeling and the feelings can be debilitating. I post and post and try to understand but the knowledge of it always evades me.

ugh. I hear ya man. a lot of us do.

I write and write about it and it does offer some understanding but the most significant thing that has come from my writing about it is not understanding of what was going on, but the knowledge in the responses of those that reached out to me. I might never know what it is I feel, but I will know how to better cope with it! We may never know....

but type away! it's all you can do.

I have had more breakdowns on here trying to understand than I ever thought was possible. but like I said, it's the views and opinions of those that reached out to me that has made all of the difference. But you will never get those views and opinions if you never reach out! so type away and let people in. it's really the only way to learn!
Thanks for this!
