Re: The real story
One thing I really like about this group is the acceptance and understanding the members have for each other.
It's helpful to know that others experience similar dificulties and get the same reaction from the people who they try to confide in. I know in the past when things first started bothering me I tried to talk to friends and family. Nobody understood me, they just thought I had some depression or something. Then I felt worse. I felt sick to my stomach, maybe I am going crazy. I shouldn't say anything, now they'll look at me like I'm nutty. So I went to psychologist. She is a very nice lady and did have some helpful things to say but not a lot. I don't think she understood me completely, but she made a good back board, and I didn't have to feel like I was hiding any regret or secrets, I just got everything off my mind. I wanted to throw out all the garbage in my mind to be sure nothing was rotten causing this strange new emotion. She thought my confusion was partly my going to college late in life in addition to all the other pressures of life. Sometimes I believe that, other times it comes back like a food alergy of something.
When I read you alls writing, I realize, I'm not the only one experiencing these type of difficulties, feeling different than the people I've always known. I always wonder what the cause is, why me, and that's when I get really upset because I fell deprived of the answer. Sorry to go on about myself, this is about Riha, and I wish Riha I had the words to make everything normal for you.
Thank You Riha and all the rest for sharing, You are the all truely my favorite poets.
