I feel really weak today. I have been feeling this way for the latter part of last week and throughout the weekend.


There's a girl in the house where I board - and she has a kind of parkinson's quality to her. My grandfather had parkinsons


and right now the reflection on these two people just make me feel focused on my own frailty.


As I think about all that in moments like these, when I don't feel strong,


I want to reach out to my family and 'wail and moan' about this or that - 


but it's not fair to do that. I wonder if some day I will turn to the bible to be my assurance.


It's weird how even though I feel weak, I want to try new stuff in life - and push through the fear - and weakness.


Posting here makes me feel not so alone. It's probably good to just push through the feelings


and just continue on with what I am scheduled to do with work and so on.

I can understand what you are saying. I hope instead of "pushing through" the feelings that you will deal with them once you have acknowledged what or who is making you feel as you do. I have been working really hard on learning, acknowledging, and finding a way to deal with what triggers me into my depressions at times. I'm glad you feel safe enough to come here, and don't feel alone when you do, because you aren't alone. Hugs

    Some things we don't talk about, we breathe them... Some things cannot be explained, but rather experienced. Some of the most healing moments arise when given the memory, acknowledging the love.One cannot go back in time; we move forward, and we carry the love we shared. No one but ourselves has the power to do so, or the permission to do so, but ourselves.So live life with your faith and...
