"Questions"

Sitting here, with the need to write, but have no idea what the topic may be. Have been so upset, sick and suffering with horrible headaches for a week. Had some panic attacks, nightmares too. Oh what is going on? No energy at all. No feelings of being real, either. Like nothing is real. Maybe this is how death feels. Everyone, inside, has been pretty quiet. Still can not shake this feeling something is wrong. Is it depression? Is it anxiety? Are we shut down? Feelings of heaviness, weariness and a longing for something...but what? Don't know if we want to do this anymore...this trying to get well. Too much confusion and too many questions. How do you feel inside? How many of you are there? Who are you? No one to talk to, no one who cares. May as well, just go away. Where would you go? Where would you live? How would you live? Do you even want to live? Who's in the mirror? Now who's in the mirror? Have you been here before? What is your name? How old are you? Who's hands are these? Who's face is this? Who did I see, just now, out of the corner of my eye? Am I insane? Should we go to the hospital? Should we stay home? Do we really have a home? Why do we feel so sick? What is causing these headaches? Have no freakin idea what the hell is going on. Just want to give up. Life is cruel, life is blahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
And, no, have no idea who wrote this and don't care niehter.


"The truth about our childhood is stored up in our body and although we repress it, we can never alter it. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated. our perceptions confused and our body tricked with medication. But someday the body will present its bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth".

My heart is aching for you all!
Don't give up! You are a wonderful person! I strongly believe that one day you will get better even if you are deep down the drain at the moment! I will be praying for you and I believe Jesus will take care of you here!
Blessings and safe hugs,
Barbra

Hello Peeps, it's me, Steve--fiddlemn--and no, that is NOT a misspelling!

What's the deal here? Who's got the headache? Everyone? Only one? Many-in-one? Headaches are BAD, right above or below toothaches in my book.

Now, the depressing thing for me here is seeing others depressed.
All those questions you're entertaining would do both--give me a headache AND make me depressed.

Give me HAPPY! That's what I finally have found, and that's what I want to keep. Not really for me. I already got it. But for others, who, when they see ME happy, maybe there is hope...HOPE...that one day we ALL can be happy.

I'm talking to you ALL. Are you ALL listening? Wait a minute--I saw one of you trying to hide, but I know you are there. (Fantasy?)

I'm addressing this to SueAnn, she is the one I know best, and the one I can 'talk' to. Someone else ought to listen to her once-in-a-while! -grin!

Don't you go getting angry now, anybody! Just look on my comment as one of hope, and a wish for the PEACE which we all want, after all. Right? (WHO said "wrong?")

Dear one, I am sorry that "the realness" is not evident with you this day. So very sorry for the continued pain you all feel and the confusion. Always here listening and sitting by your sides. ((((safe hugs))))

safe hugs!! definitely working on getting healthy can be exhausting work. you sound worn out and under so much pressure. i don't think all these questions can be answered at once. and it hurts to try so hard.

and so i don't want to ask you more questions or give you advice. but for this, i hope you can take small breaks. i think it is important while doing all of this deep work, to take a step back regularly. i think for me, it's my perfectionism sometimes that won't let me ease. must be well now! push push push! it's because we get so exhausted sometimes that we feel this way i think. we just want to feel better already! :)

but you deserve to feel peace right now. you don't have to wait to have all the answers first. i hope you have things you love that bring you peace amidst the chaos. things that many of the alters can enjoy together. just sitting together not putting pressure on each other, just being. listening to music, a favorite show, walks, gardening?

i want to take from a rilke quote but revise it a bit to make it better:

~Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to pause by the questions themselves. The harder we push ourselves, the harder it is to see. If we live our lives, and take the questions one by one over time, I believe the answers come when we are ready.

of course I say all this from my instinct. it might be hogwash :) but my wish is to help you feel ease~ and peace~ you all deserve it.

Dear SueAnn,
This is Prayer Girl commenting for the first time on your blog.

I am sure of one thing and that is I know very little and understand even less.

BUT.....
I may have never been in the exact place you are now, but I have been in really bad places in my mind that make it possible for me to identify with many of the thoughts you just expressed.

I trust that things can get better. I believe that if you keep doing the best that you can (even when you feel as though that is nothing), God will carry you forward. Don't give up. That's the important thing.

From personal experience I know that prayer is extremely powerful.....not just a fantasy.

I am praying for you. I will not stop.

Love and Prayers,
Prayer Girl

Rainbow,

Yes, I know. It is exhausting. What do I do? I give myself a break from thinking stuff. I just watch Law & Order or whatever.

Sometimes just existing is hard enough. So I limit myself to existing.

Take care! I'll have a glass of milk to you.

i would like to add that i don't think you need to have a religious or spiritual belief in order to feel healthy. some people may find this comment to be offensive, and i certainly don't mean it to be. i'm happy for those who are able to feel healthier through their faith. i just don't think that's the only way.
