Still around *possible trigger*

Posted by TherapyGirl on January 30, 2009, at 21:19:01

I feel a little better physically and I've been able to function during the day. But at night it all comes crashing down on me. I've lost my best friend, I'm losing my T, I have nothing left. I'm tired of waiting for it to be my turn. It's obviously never going to be my turn.

I don't want to feel like this anymore.

It will be your turn one day, I promise. I know it's hard to hold onto this, to believe it, but you have to have strength and a faith that one day your life will be better. You are working too hard for it not to.

You're on a painful journey, but there will be good times again. There were, and are, for me so while I can only offer you encouragement, lean on us for strength while you need it.

(((((TG)))))

Hang in there, sweetie. I know how much it hurts right now, and it doesn't seem like it will ever end. But it will get better. I never thought I'd be able to say that after feeling how I felt a few years ago, between the depression and losing my T, etc., and truthfully I *still* think of her, it still hurts, but my ending with her was a bad one and left a lot of things unresolved, but it doesn't take up my whole life anymore. The same will be true for you. In time, you'll be able to place your T in a corner of your heart, keep her there with you, and at the same time move on from the hurt. I know these just seem like words now, but just try to trust that they are true. Be gentle with yourself in the meantime.

This reminds me of the talk about whether it is better to hope or not. By temperament, I am one of those who say that hope sucks.

You ever read Bukowski? I'd hardly heard of him but I just saw this film about him, which made me feel positive.
Here is him reading
Born Into This
(with Italian subtitles)

I notice that his tomb has the inscription
'Don't Try'.

By comparison.

Nice to see you post TG.
Hope they can sort out your hormones.
When I was first trying to be on the pill.
The first couple kinds I tried made me cry and cry. For no reason. And i rarely cry.
Hormones suck.
I hope things are being even slightly better.
It may take some time to sort thru this hormonal type stuff.
Then you can continue to sort thru stuff.
Have you started transitioning to a new T?
Its hard, but in many ways can be very refreshing to have a new perspective.
Please take care.

I like that, in a sick kind of way, Sig. :-)

And I totally agree that hope sucks.

Thanks, Muffly.

I'm still not feeling anywhere near normal, but am able to "pass" a fair amount of the time, like at work.

I'm not transitioning to a new T -- my T doesn't retire until the end of the year, but I'm just not going to do this with anyone else. So imagine how great it will be to go through this without her...

I'm not really enjoying life right now and my best friend is still treating me like a pirranha. I've lost too much to depression over the years. I'm about done.
