I'm sorry. Here again.

I'm trying hard to leave this behind.

The worst part about life is the pain.

I asked my therapist if the world was bad or I was 'wrong'...she said I was quite sensitive. I believe that. I *feel* peoples pain so entirely to the point where I feel so much that I either detach or I make them unimportant. I cannot stand the pain of the world. It screams at me and I am so sad that others do not hear it and cannot help to reassure it.

I want to have other people who will care enough, ? old enough, to look after us all. Everyone seems like little children who are lost in the wilderness and I have noone to look to, to care for me. I am not 'old' enough to do it.

My therapist cares. She is good. I wish she was around, always.

I'm sorry, i'm crying because I really want to get better and do not want to feel like this anymore. It sounds completely stupid but sometimes the world feels as though it wasn't made for me.

I know that is a selfish statement to make, and I am not that special that 'this' wasn't made for me. I don't know what to say.

That didn't sound stupid at all. There's no need to apologize for your thoughts and your feelings. I wish I had some actual advice for you, but it sounds like it's something you're already working on with your therapist.

Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry

I have a fourth option, sounds like you need to work on thicker boundaries so that you don't absorb the world.

Are you a half empty glass type of gal?

It's the rollercoaster that is the most tiring part of it all. Up, down, side to side....it's never ending. Internally my emotions are out of control...externally I'm still learning how to express it all. That is why I cut, to express it all.

Learning the healthier ways to express your emotions is very good work.

Thanks Sannah. I'm really aware that learning better ways to communicate is the way forward. I think I just wanted the ether of the internet to know I'm not coping too well right now.
