Oh. As a former "cutter" this tears bat my soul.
There are times no words, no therapy, no treatment seem to reach...
Desperate moments when to see the pain flow in blood bolts us to reality.
This is not the answer...but it is a cry for help!
We, ad writers can bleed upon the page...spill our rage and sorrow in ink!
Do that!
Always do that!

Thank you for reading and reviewing! Don?t worry, I didn?t mean literal self injury. I was just very frustrated by the tiptoeing rather than delving into my problems that occurred and this was the result. I promise I am safe and well, but I appreciate the concern. Thank you for your time and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Whew. So glad to hear this. I do find "bleeding my words onto the page" is the best therapy!

I would have thought that Group therapy must be the last resort of trying to block the holes in one's coping mechanism, sheer logic or rationalisation should be enough. The cure for emotional and psychiatric problems should be curable, but often are not. A wonderfully written post, with great language, expressively written, well done, blessings Roy

Thank you very much for reading and reviewing. Group therapy is definitely...not what I expected. It's getting a little better as time goes by, though. I really appreciate your time and effort in reading this and I hope you have a wonderful day.

This writing is heart-wrenching and beautiful at the same time. I can feel the emotion behind each and every word you wrote. The writing is skillfully executed, which makes it a delight to read.

A moving heartfelt account of the pain endured by those who are suffering from the ravages of disease. It seems to be so familiar one must have walked this road. Thanks for sharing

Holy S***, K... This makes me really upset that I just gave away my last 6. You have poured your heart out onto the page. That's a really brave thing to do. I can't tell you how many times I have wished for just that thing myself. "Will you just have a backbone and tell me the truth already!" Why can't anyone seem to have a spine these days? Be strong enough to do the right thing even when it's the hard thing? I've tried hard to impress this on my son while I've raised him. Just because something is difficult doesn't mean it doesn't need to be done sometimes. It's best to be honest... even when it's going to hurt, no matter the situation. That doesn't mean you can't be kind while doing it though. You don't need to be a jerk about it.
It's hard when you're looking for help and it's not around. I know what it's like. Have no fear, you'll be heard here!
Susan :)

Thank you very much for reading and reviewing! The opening of your comment made me smile. It's definitely been a frustrating process trying to get better. I'm in the place where I want to lean into all the hard stuff, but I feel like the only one on my treatment team right now that's there. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and comment, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Group therapy is not meant to leave you with feelings like this but perhaps this means that your mind is being challenged to change, and this change is for the better, this is a painful write and many will identify with your sadness here, love Dolly x

Thank you very much for reading and reviewing! I think I'm just more committed to the ugliness of the process of healing than my team expected, but we'll see. I really appreciate your time and I hope you have a wonderful day!
