I am feeling overwhelmed. Grrrrrr

Everyone here is kind and supportive but IRL they are a complete challenge.

I cannot understand how other people cope with life, while I struggle so....

@Thirty shades,

I am sorry that you are struggling. Please know that you are not the only one who struggles with life. I know I struggle every day, sometimes with things that seem simple for others. You are not alone in this!

Hope you feel better soon.

I hope you are beyond the difficulty you described in your initial post, Thirty shades. Did anything help you through it? Did you find anything from Pete Walker's approach helpful?

Thank you dear Rohag.

I am calmer due to some Valium. The problem persists unfortunately.

Thank you for reminding me about Pete Walker. I seem to forget all the help I have learned in a crisis.

Sending you peace and harmony

How that resonates with me!

I strongly suspect many therapists and other mental health professionals do not appreciate the weakness of "education" in the face of powerful internal psychological forces.

I am sorry the problem persists, Thirty shades. Please post as you are able throughout this struggle.

We are not 'shameful beings'
maybe 'they' are shameful with their labels and finger pointing

There is no shame in being true.

Why are we treated like we don't matter? Why are we seen as faulty?

They don't seem to notice how judgemental they are....

They feel secure in their own self, feeling we need to raise ourselves to their standard rather than accept that we are unable to be them.

I am not sure anyone would make a choice to be us and feel our pain...

Hugs to all who need them

Good to see you!

I'm doing OK, thanks. Felt well enough to go back to novel writing so I've been focusing on that. It makes me feel better. Life isn't perfect, but the sertraline keeps me fairly even.

How about you?
