Lucy,
I "get" overwhelmed. I think you know I undersand it. I think if I had to pick one word to describe how I feel, how my thought process is, how my LIFE is it would be "overwhelmed". And it's not a new feeling.
Sometimes we get really close to that edge, and maybe even tip over it. Hanging onto a branch and waiting for either a hand of help or something - anything - to change that gets us off the edge. It doesn't always happen, does it? Sometimes I feel like I'm just in a free fall state, watching the world as I fall.
Oh, I'm talking about me and I don't mean to. I just think we have some things in common, and I DO believe being alone contributes exponentially to everything. How can we NOT be overhwhelmed?
All I can say right now, though my own fog, is sometimes I just have to take it one day, one hour, one minute at a time. I don't even hope for it to get better in any major way anymore. I just keep trying to figure how I'm going to survive, and I don't always have the answer to that. You know, there are those major, world crises like Haiti, and I'm not even sure we can compare it to what we feel, but I do think we have our own personal crises and it's all relative to what your experience is in the moment.
Gosh, I don't even know if I should post this. I don't think it makes any sense. Maybe I should just say, I care. And yours has been one of the few posts I've worked hard to read and post to, even though it took me about a dozen times to be able to post this.
Many hugs of healing to you,
PaLady
