Re: About the Isolation

[Guest guest]

I can agree and relate to all of you. Those in our lives who are supportive to us are great and I know I am thankful for them. But, there are some days when you have so many things going through your head....it's almost kinder to just try and deal with it on your own. Because the possibility is there that you may end up lashing out at them, cause you just can't handle anything else right at that moment. I find myself often times just not wanting to talk about it with them because I know there's nothing they can do to fix where my mind is at, right at that moment. It's just something I have to work out on my own. I try to understand how frustrating it must be for them, knowing that they can't help and wanting to do whatever they can.....but in the end, there are days when you can't help but listen to that devil's advocate voice in your head that tells you the concern comes from a place of pity and no matter how hard you try, you feel yourself becoming resentful of that. So,

though it becomes a difficult situation, there are those days when you just have to keep it in, because if you didn't the possibility exists that you might offend them more by what you say than by what you don't. Ultimately, RSD is one of those natural disasters that can't help but try and take out everything in it's wake.....best we can do is figure out when it's best to take cover and when we should battle the storm head on. If that makes any sense to anyone

Tim and Barbra,I can relate so well towards your words. I create my own isolation sometimes. I think it's when I have to pull back and regroup.. A little aloneness is ok for me. But I'm a people person. And yes my life didn't turn out the way I planned, guess it's somebody elses plan. Laurie
