I don't know how many of you men out there have been brought up with the macho bull I was ,,,, ,,, , But I suspect there are way more than want to admit ,, or are all of you just way to proud to admit it ,, ,, Just think ,, oh my God I have feelings but do not know how too admit it or how to show them ,, Or still even worse let others see them ,, That would be a disgrace ,, I'll never let that happen,, all of that is such bull sh-- ,, if you want to grow and heal around here ,,, get ready for the ride of your life ,, ,,, ,,, for those of you who don't want to deal with this kind of FEELINGS then just hang on to your PTSD ,,
Now I know and have learned that my story is not the most tragic out there ,, ,, In fact I have the utmost respect for so many woman out there , It blows me away ,, ,,, ,, Having said that ,, ,, ,, when my PTSD Alcoholism AIDS and busted up body is on fire all at once ,, I don't have a problem letting others see just how deeply they or there story touches my heart ,, ,, And yes even will make me cry for them or how close what they shared feels just like or mimics what has happened in my live ,, ,,
I cracked and broke once before ,, 7yrs ago ,, Luckily I was in a safe place ,, ,, In an AA meeting ,, ,, ,, even this may bother others because I found help some place other than here or a shrink ,, even did it with no meds of any kind ,, this may not be recommended ,, and I'm not special for doing it that way ,,, ,, It was just what I had to do for me ...
I have been getting more and more shut down or open to those exact things that helped me before ,, Those feeling ,, Letting others see my emotions or simply letting them out at all ,, ,, you slam up those walls just like I was taught to as a boy,,
I will find a way to let this happen again {lettings all the feelings out } Because it had such a great effect on me ,, ,, ,, if I show a bit of compassion for others on this forum ,, Then so be it I'm human and proud of every feeling that I have ,, Simply because they are all mine and not masked by drugs or alcohol ,, They are very real ,,,, ,,, I will let my humanity shine bright and some times very loudly ,, ,, Beatle
