    I crossed some line yesterday. That invisible line in my head where I give up fighting the urges and SIV slides back on the table as a viable coping skill.

    I dislike this head space.

    I am heading into two weeks of covering for co-workers and zero down time.

    My grandpa died last night after a failed surgery.

    I just don't have the strength to war within my head also.

    My arm recovery has had a set back.

    We can't catch our breaths. We need to find a way to slow things down/make the world stop for a day so we can find our footing.

    I hope my grandpa's memorial service is any day but the 7th. I am locked into a commitment and can't attend that day. I would like to go to support my husband and his family as they grieve.

    I will have to make my son 100% responsible for lighting the fireworks on the 4th .....or else I know exactly what I will do.

    to tallo heto hey.
    I'm not really a psychopath, I just play one on the internet.

    I echo what Kate te wrote. Keep fighting. You're having a really hard time right now but as we no life ebbs and flows
    and it won't always be like this. Is there some sliver of hope that you can hold onto for right now? just one sliver? and then find another to build on. I definetly sympathize with you with your arm problem and the loss of your grandpa. I hope your grandpa lived a long life and it was a good one.
    I know for me when my grandparents when i was an adult and had children of my own passed I was thankful they didn't have to suffer anymore.
    I don't know what you're beliefs are after our body is gone but i believe we go somewhere that is somewhat like eutophia.

    God Speed Paja and hold on. Keep writing if it helps ok.

    I'm really sorry about your grandpa, Paja! Like Fran said, it sounds like you've got several things going on all at once that are contributing to your struggles right now. Hang in there and be gentle with yourself knowing that this is not an easy time for you. (((Paja)))

    You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
