There are many instances in my life that I quite didn't understand for the longest, but I am now beginning to see. For instance, I'd find myself uncontrollably crying and sobbing over something, it's usually over relationship woes or life, and in great mental turmoil where my spirit is vexed to the core. I'd have great anguish and a feeling of this is it, shoot me now, this is the end.

Some when during the climax of misery, I'd feel a warm, gentle, loving presence come up behind me over my right shoulder and I'd hear a soft female voice saying "There, there, it's going to be all right". I'd then perceive a hand touching my right shoulder. Right then and there all my grief melts away and the need to cry disappears. So I'm now sitting there feeling peaceful and loved with tears drying and the wonder of the reason why am I crying in the first place that got lost to nothingness. I instantly now have a new attitude and different feel about me.

Can anyone relate?

i have an alter named elenor who is very comforting and soothing. she is kind and spiritual. she counteracts all the negative self talk. she is like a warm blanket when i am feeling lost and down. i guess like the mom i never had.
