Feelin' the same way

Just got the Nora Jones CD Come Away with Me. I love it! There is one song that says perfectly how I feel sometimes. It is written by Lee Alexander and sung of course by Nora.

Feelin' The Same Way

The sun just slipped its note below my door
And I can't hide beneath my sheets
I've read the words before so now I know
The time has come again for me

And I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend

Another day that I can't find my head
My feet don't look like they're my own
I'll try and find the floor below to stand
And I hope I reach it once again

And I'm feelin' the same way...

So many times I wonder where I've gone
And how I found my way back in
I look around awhile for something lost
Maybe I'll find it in the end

And I'm feelin' the same way...

It is frustrating to me that even after all this time in therapy, this time reading up, learning about my problems, learning about myself, the mood hits me and it is EXACTLY the same. It never seems to change. Oh, it has gotten better. I have longer and longer periods between episodes but when it hits it hits just as hard and when I come out of it I have to wonder why. Then I will get on line and read all the info all over and again and see myself in the words on the screen, the episode written out in the discription of my illness. It makes me so sad. Ah well, just gotta take it as it comes and enjoy the peaceful times and be happy that the peaceful times are getting longer.

You know thats one of my favorite songs too :-) It really sums up how I feel too....Another One of my favorite songs Is everybody Hurts By R.E.M Its just so true especially as I have a fear of crying in public for fear of being told im weak..or laughed at...But it keeps me going when I have suicidle thoughts racing through my mind......

When your day is long
And the night
And the night is yours alone
When you sure you've had enough
Of this life
Hang on

Don't let yourself go
Cause everybody cries
Everybody hurts
Sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night
(hold on)
When you feel like letting go
(hold on)
When you think you've had too much
Of this life
Hang on

Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts

Don't throw your hand
Hold on
Don't throw your hand
When you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you're not alone

If you're on your own
In this life
Days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much
Of this life
Hang on

Well everybody hurts
Sometimes
Everybody cries
Everybody hurts
Sometimes
Everybody hurts
Sometimes
So hold on...
Hold on....
Hold on....
Hold on....
Hold on....

Just reading the lyrics made the skin on my head tingle. I love REM too. I haven't listen to that one in so long. Hubby will be relieved to find a new cd in the player. I have a tendency to play the same cd over and over again. Guess I am like my kids in that respect except they have out grown it and I haven't.
