>So much hurt and pain, so much dissent amongst ourselves.
Are you talking about something on admin? I've been avoiding it myself.
>I'm afraid I've become quite good at spotting escalating threads from the subject lines alone, and I do not read, much less partake, because of how they trigger me. I can't afford to lose my sobriety now (nor ever), but that's the danger I post to myself if I get involved.
Your number one priority is to take care of you! If you don't, how can you be a help to anyone else? At least, that's what I always tell myself.
>I'm so sorry for all the turmoil that posters feel and reveal here.
Me too.
>All I was gonna post today was that I was at a baseball game and all of a sudden felt completely pathetic and sorry for myself - same old, same old - and started to cry. That feeling lingers for hours and I think I might still shed some tears today. That's all I was going to say.
And then I saw what everyone else had posted and I felt pretty insignificant and petty. Well, tack that on for today's tally.There's nothing wrong with how you feel. The mantra Larry told me is apt: "My feelings are not subject to questioning, by anyone. Even me." You feel what you're supposed to feel. We don't need to justify our feelings by measuring them against someone else's. They just are.
All we can do is the best we can. And you've been doing very well. You've always inspired me.
