...I know I'll be okay. I'm just overwhelmed. I really need to go to the store. I've been living on water and cigarettes since Sunday. I'm just not anxious to go out in public. I think I really need to eat real food.
Thank you, again. It's weird, but whenever someone else is going through hard times I always say, "I've been there" and assume it doesn't make a difference to the person. It does, though. Part of my brain has taken a vacation, that's how The Fear snuck in. Hearing those words reminds me that I've been here before, too. I survived. It's never easy, it's terrifying, heartbreaking...but, I survive.
