I'm frustrated and angry and both are useless feelings as they solve nothing. I have to stop internalizing everything as stress and unresolved relentless trauma - a task whic none of us with empathy are good at. How does anyone manage life at all much less have hopes or dreams?

I like that. Flipping the script on myself can sometimes bring about great breakthroughs. I do know that giving to rather than taking from has always helped me. I just have to figure out how and what to give with the spoons I have at any given moment, and that's a roller coaster!

You have a quiet wisdom engraved inside my dear I forget how much comfort I have taken at times and rereading favorite books. So I'm going to reread a favorite book! Thank you Sarah :-)
