I hope, as you go through this, that the quiet life also unfolds something of richness and warmth. It is good, the way you write about how things are. Setting down the truth of things resonates, always. I hope you keep doing that.Reading the Signshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338983880105866139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550542818993957125.post-84633916103512780692008-08-07T23:49:00.000+01:002008-08-07T23:49:00.000+01:00"And I hope that even if there are more bad days t..."And I hope that even if there are more bad days than good for a while, the end result will be more good days than bad. More feeling in my life, more clarity in my life. More life in my life. Better writing."<BR/><BR/>I think that's a great attitude to have. Here's to hoping the rollercoaster ride gets easier though, with less sharp turns and scary spins and flips.EkChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17714132892656869920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550542818993957125.post-56710299239549247122008-08-04T23:51:00.000+01:002008-08-04T23:51:00.000+01:00Hey Donimo: distance is unimportant in these situa...Hey Donimo: distance is unimportant in these situations. Was thinking of you today, and feeling bad for not stopping by yours, or anyone's in the last few weeks. Been under a large stone. Just done in.<BR/><BR/>S. Thank you, and yes I will do it. I bloody well will I'm so determined.<BR/><BR/>Goldfish: I grab the time I have with my son at the mo, and enjoy - or at least don't mind getting tired out as at least we're doing stuff. It's the in between weeks that are a trial. That's when I'm cutting (and wisely so). Best to be miserable when he's not around I feel. Yes it is tough, but thanks for stopping by it's much appreciated.<BR/><BR/>Everyone, I think I posted this as a matter of record. I don't post on bad days so much any more (or do I, can't remember?) But anyway, sometimes it's hard. Maybe I'm not cool blogging in such a way, but I don't care!!!!seahorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04006649663400552591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550542818993957125.post-41802473573001360422008-08-04T19:28:00.000+01:002008-08-04T19:28:00.000+01:00Thinking of you, Seahorse.

It is very tough, but so are you; you've demonstrated remarkable courage and perseverance to get thus far. Don't forget what you have already achieved. <BR/><BR/>I'm here if ever I can be useful. And otherwise, too.The Goldfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213378454070776331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550542818993957125.post-81393700575178992182008-08-02T19:58:00.000+01:002008-08-02T19:58:00.000+01:00Oh, Seahorse, yes, it sounds miserably hard.

But this--coming off the nastier drugs--is something that your body *can* do and is doing. I'm glad that you're not pulling back from therapy at the same time.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957943262402999997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550542818993957125.post-64987901018670288272008-08-02T01:14:00.000+01:002008-08-02T01:14:00.000+01:00Tough, tough stuff.

I applaud your bravery and determination, I really do. It's hard enough to come off benzo-type drugs when that's the "only" thing you're dealing with, but you also have a chronic illness that makes all the day-to-day stuff harder and the whole process more challenging. It does sound very draining and it also sounds very worth it. <BR/><BR/>Day by day, inching toward more life, more clarity and more YOU. <BR/><BR/>I'm thousands of kilometres away, but I'm also right here, ya know?D Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525527107082626371noreply@blogger.com
