Bridge Over Troubled Waters

[Deleted member 34328]

Probably just a sentimental day... too much happening all at once. I have a favorite radio station playing on my laptop and heard that song. (one of my comfort coping tools) The words hit as I also had this site page open.

I'm overwhelmed by quite a few things right now. I started crying while listening to the lyrics because I thought of the few times I've posted up a thread and the incredible support I've received from this forum. I'm not going to analyse the song, but the words just caught my attention and I wanted to put something up about it.

Wow, weird relation. That was my mom's father's favorite song and oddly the first I learned to play on the piano (started in high school). I still have the sheet music though today I cant even hear the song without freaking out.

Im sorry you're have a hard time! But we are building a bridge over troubled waters arent we?

Great song.

I've had similar experiences to a number of songs. Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here being a guaranteed tear-jerker to me. I brought this up with my T a few times and we reached the conclusion that the crying at songs was a very good sign. Having emotions is a lot better than being (I can't resist) Comfortably Numb.

It's all good.

Thanks so much for the feedback. This is exactly what I meant. When the waters are troubled, there is someone (forum of people) following behind and always ready to join in. I'm so thankful for that.

Yes, it's a very rough time right now, but who ever said there would only be one wave? I find they often come hard and fast. A tidal if not caught in time. It's my choice to reach out or not, but when I do, I find there's always someone ready to listen, even if no one can really give a solution. Just having someone there to hear is a big deal.

That song is a strong trigger for me and I am unable to listen to it yet without flashing. Just seeing the name of the song has me working hard to ground. It used to be used as a comfort song during a part of a weekend retreat I was a team member of, but something happened at one of the retreats which I now flash back on.

I'm glad there is support here.

I hear you! I've had that happen with so many things that would seem harmless to others. It always takes us by surprise (and not in a good way) when something like that triggers a response.

If it makes you feel any better, I can't see or god forbid eat Grape Jelly. Can't handle someone else with it either. Sounds crazy I'm sure, but for me, it's a massive trigger. So I get it and don't think it strange at all. I'm sorry this thread has caused a reaction for you. Took a lot of courage just to post up on it. Good for you!!!
