Need Help

But Whitebird, with work, it gets a lot better. Glad to hear you are getting therapy. It is hard when that therapy gets interrupted. Might I suggest you start marking days on a calendar until your next appointment? Try to choose one small task to complete each day...sometimes just making your bed or a simple meal can be a great accomplishment.

@Whitebird - do your family know you are in such pain, or are they part of the problem? Don't worry if you don't want to say, of course, but it is so hard to deal with this all on your own on the days you are not seeing a therapist. Please do spend as much time as you need on the forum. There is always someone here to chat to and many of us do understand, as fellow sufferers/survivors or as supporters. Being so flat and numb makes connecting to people so hard, or even working out what you need, but we all act as sounding boards for one another.

I hope your bed in set up really comfortingly with an extra pillow to hug, or something else to cuddle, nice smells and maybe even some really relaxing music. I hope you find some sleep tonight.

Thank you all very very much. It's morning. I got some sleep last night. I'm so happy because of having friends like you.

To a3a2: That would be helpful. I want to try something to do everyday up to seeing my therapist.

To Echo: My family don't know about my problem because I don't want to make them sad by talking about bad things.

Thank you all again.

When I was a kid, I constantly revisited a scene from a story I had made up about a white pigeon. You name makes me think of it constantly. Can you tell me the story behind your name?

 

[Whitebird]

Dear a3a2,

White birds are a symbol of freedom, compassion, peace, love and friendship for me and many cultures. In my culture white birds flying in the sky are a sign of the freedom of a spirit. We believe body is like a prison for spirit. When someone die his/her spirit detaches from his/her body and joins God. In addition I love Persian poets like Rumi and Hafez and Persian mystic which are related to spirit, love and God. Also white or grey pigeons are associated with my religion.

My name is a sign of my wish for freedom and peace for myself and all over the world. No war, No violence...
