Today has been an interesting day. Bethany and Brandon and the kids came over for dinner. Before that I had a visit with my therapist, Kristin. Bethany drove me out to my appointment. I almost forgot all about it. I really didn't feel up to going. I didn't want to leave the house and my comfort zone but Bethany knew about the appointment and she urged me to get ready and go. It wasn't easy. I had to wait for a while for Kristin to be ready for me and I was very anxious. The waiting room was full and I felt very claustrophobic. Anyway, Kristin and I talked about a lot of things that have been going on here. There was some laughter and a few tears as well. I hadn't seen her since November. I learned a few things about what has been eating me and why I have been in turn eating my rage
food without thought to the consequences. I seem to be in a highly advanced state of
fucking pissed off ANGER over something and it is killing me. I believe I know what it is. Nothing hurts me or makes me angrier than having old wounds ripped wide open. I am not going to go into detail here. All I can say is that I am hurt and that the people who hurt me will never understand what it feels like to live with Schizoaffective Disorder.
Maybe I will be able to talk more about this tomorrow. I am still working all of it out in my head. In the mean time, we are watching Live Free or Die Hard so I can see bad people get the hell beat out of them. I'm tired of turning the other cheek. I'm tired of having my face slapped. I'd like to see a little Karma working around here.

I hope you had a better night, sweetie. That karma will come back around on whoever has been hurting you lately. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteSome people will never understand and that is their problem. Just do what you are able to do and never give up!! "hugs"
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ronnie. Dail and I watched some bad guys get beat up and I also got a new book for my Kindle so that I would have something else to think about. It was a good night. Dail and I also talked for a while and he helped me to let go of a little of the anger.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Suzy. It is even harder when it is the people who should be closest to you. Down here in the south there is still quite a stigma attached to mental illness and I guess it embarrasses these people that I have limitations and take psychiatric medications. They would rather believe that I am pretending just to get out of doing things.
