Crying In Public

Thank you everyone. Your thoughts and prayers were heard and felt. I slept with no dreams.

Waking up this morning and seeing these kind words blessed me today. Thank you so much to accept me. I was so afraid I would scare you all off. I tend to do that in real life. I think part of the reason is, people don't know how to help, so they either try to do what works for them when they freak out, or they call the cops and tell them I'm going to hurt myself. Even though I have no intention of hurting myself. When they see me, they figure probably would, so they lock me up first then try to sort things out. Which use to cause me even more trauma. sigh.

Thank you all again for the peace I had during the night as I slept. I am so glad that God hears and answers prayer, aren't you?
 
safenow, Something I have tried is the senses. Like favorite smells (flowers, baking bread, even the smell of fabric softener). Pretty colors. Bright ones. Mild exercise. Listening to soft soothing music. Last May I began doing something that forced me to face every bit of pain. I believe God wanted me to do this but I thought I would have to get past my own pain first to even start it. God spoke to my heart and told me it wasn't a matter of getting past it. That I was to hold on tight because it was a matter of getting through it. It has been horrific but well worth it. It's like the Footprints poem. It was then that He carried me. I too often don't see this. It is a constant struggle to realize that even when I'm not able to hold onto him He is holding onto me.
