Dear T,
I wish I was the kind of person who would just go back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night. No, I'm the sort, on a night like tonight, who checks the news... Hope I'll be able to go back to sleep at some point... Love, LT |

Dear T,
I'm glad we were able to talk about things like that. And that you were open about your reactions, too. It felt almost like a joint therapy session. Or maybe two friends talking. It was cathartic for me, to be able to let out those thoughts (including the dark one about D) and emotions. I'm also relieved you didn't try to put some sort of positive spin on it. Like you said, the most positive you could get was still pretty dark. I'm glad you're able and willing to go into the darkness with me. Wait till I show you what my mom said about it--maybe that will help you understand better her effect on me. Love you, LT |

Hi R,
In order to be a safe container, and do my work in the world...I need a safe container. I'm still struggling to find my way back to feeling safe with you, and things like this (whilst unavoidable) don't help. RC holds space for me beautifully, but I'm holding too much for a group. It's too much for one person, really. Thanks, Lost __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

You seemed kinda hopeless in your email this morning. Which freaked me out a bit. You were all like "I'll take your moms word for it" when I said she said things would be ok.
But I did use the treadmill. For myself not for you. __________________ I'm Blue |

Is this you not turning up? This makes me very nervous. I know that there could be any number of reasons for this, but those reasons include the possibility that you are dumping me like the last one did. I am not sure what to do. I am not sure what the normal thing to do would be. Probably to message you with a prompt, but that feels very uncomfortable, especially given last week. I am not sure what is an over reaction. I guess I will give it half an hour and then message you if I haven't heard from you. Or, more likely, I will give it half an hour and then still not know what to do because I am thick.

Sorry about being like "are we done?" Kinda abrutly at the end. I needed to leave before I got sick and your lights weren't helping. I threw up as soon as I got to the car.

Needing physical assistance and emotional support is a hell of a balancing act.
One is much easier to ask for, and the other is where I end up 'flat on my face'. Three more sleeps until we can begin to unpack everything that happened while you were poorly. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

Dear T,
Wish I could talk to you right now. I mean, I guess the discussion with H went OK. But I'm struggling with going out of my way to do something for D on my way home, then to have her say, "I don't want her here" regarding me when I got home. I feel guilty for this part of me thinking, "Why did I bother?" Hoping the therapist we're seeing tomorrow for parenting guidance will help... Love, LT |

You know what?
I'm so effing fed up of new layers. As if I didn't have enough to deal with. The news here isn't doing a great deal for my struggle with my 'faith walk', such as it is. We always have enough to talk about without more being added. I'm working tomorrow, so I have to get through that somehow.

That new song that came out "Let's Talk" reminds me of my current situation. The whole "push it until my body fails" and "lets talk about fear and "lets talk about how I've been here before" and "how I can handle this."

Thank you for offering reassurance over the support I have found from RC.
I'm glad you can appreciate the difference between the support that she is grounded in, and what you provide. There's so much going on, and only some of it is relevant to the work that we are doing. I want to talk about the stuff that's been in the news, but I have no idea how. I never understood why some people have trouble with religion, but now I do. Hell of an initiation. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

You were all like "I don't think we've talked about Musicals" so I changed the subject so we wouldn't be talking about them for the 3rd time.
You did bring up something I had forgotten about though. __________________ I'm Blue |
