Friday Matthew showed up and we talked about what happened between us the weekend before. At 1st we were mad at each other and argued for a while. Then the argument took a turn and we ended up talking about how much we care about each other and how this past week has made us both so sick from the depression. We got a lot off our chests and towards the end of the night we discovered how much we actually love each other. He spent the night just comforting me and showing me that he just wants to be there for me. I had pretty bad nerve pain from my groin to my toes through out my entire R leg friday night and through the weekend, that I had to go back to taking Tylenol with Codeine again. When we were at the beach, every little thing that touched my skin, including the sand felt as though it was ripping off my skin. It really hurt, but I was desperate to swim I had to go through with it. The rest of the weekend we continued to talk about our situation and how to make it better. We swam at the beach both Sat and Sun. Through the rest of the weekend, he stayed by my side and was very compassionate towards me. He comforted me like never before, I was so amazed! Today, Monday, he came to the VA with me to my Pain Management support group and told me that he will be coming weekly for at least the next 9 weeks. My anger management counseling has yet to be set up, but Matthew said that he will attend that with me as well. So, things are looking up and who knows, maybe great things will come out of all this!
