You know, I've been sitting here wondering if I'm just in denial or if I'm really ok with my current situation. How do you know if you're in denial or just shoving your feelings down so far that they just don't seem to impact on you?
I shake constantly but that's been going on for a decade at least.
I'm not suicidal right now. I actually feel absolutely nothing. It's very strange. I don't know whether it's good to feel nothing or bad?
Just so confused. And so alone.

hey Tina ~
All I can say is that for me it came in waves, lots of numbness interspersed with tears. I went through every one of those stages of grief that they talk about, and all my friends who have been through it have too.
It was tricky, balancing that it's a big thing and trying to give myself a lotta credit for that, but without getting so lost in the bigness that I gave up.
thinking of you,

Oh Tina.... (((((hugs))))) - and thats a big hug!
I wrote you this huge message from work, and just as I got to the end, my pc went dead!! Totally dead!
But the gist of it was...
You've had one hell of alot of things going on recently - so much in a really short time. Everything that went on in the final few months of your marriage,Your new job, the actual split, the changes you've had to go through adjusting to life without C again... And then the living with dad again... This is a real lot Tina, and isobviously going to leave you numb. Your body and brain probably hardly know whats hit it - and hasn't had time out to catch up with itself have they??
And whatever you might think - I think you're coping amazingly. So many people would have given up totally by now.. But you're still here with us all aint ya! You're still posting to us - and I don't need to tell you that theres alot of people around here that care alot about you.
So how messed up are??? Not too much at all in my books!! But then - who am I to talk??!!! :o)

Tina, I was going to tell you you're not messed up, too, but I had exactly the same thought as Nikki.
I don't want you to think the omission meant something it didn't.
A big 'ole cyberhug for you. And then another. (And I'm a champion hugger, it's one of my good qualities.)
