Comments on: Oh,… Well, That Makes Sense http://written-whispers.com/blog/2009/09/29/oh-well-that-makes-sense/ Where I Keep My Writings :) Mon, 28 Nov 2011 13:25:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Spirit http://written-whispers.com/blog/2009/09/29/oh-well-that-makes-sense/comment-page-1/#comment-4381 Spirit Sun, 04 Oct 2009 09:06:41 +0000 http://written-whispers.com/blog/?p=1469#comment-4381 I'll have to look that book up. It seems so unfair that it's when we're most happy and finally away from the darkness that it really hits us but I suppose it's a good battle plan for the body and mind. Nevertheless I still wish I could have just gotten it over with 'when' I was in hell instead of when I'm trying to live in the here and now of happy land. :) When I was back in foster care and getting to a point where I was starting to scare myself with how dark and nasty my thoughts and emotions were getting I did go on medication for a short, short while and then got off it again as soon as I was out and in a better situation so I know if I get to a certain point I'll take it if I need to but at the same time a lot of what I'm going through is uncharted territory for me so I suppose it'll be a lot of trial and error. Hopefully not so much of the latter and I hope your experiences with the past weren't anything like mine let alone worse- I wouldn't wish that on anybody! I’ll have to look that book up.

Playing with my sites is one of those things that I'll all too easily let keep me up long past daylight. :D You know it's a good hobby if the clock looks like it's reading Japanese instead of digits. Hopefully so via the tools. It definitely helps having a name for the bulk of what's going on but as the same time I still feel like I'm in that limbo period where everything is on the verge of moving forward but not quite getting there. PS. Kitties in the mail... probably not so good. Methinks one of mine has learned how to send email recently though (not kidding). Lol, you may know me too well.
