Sandy, it was good to talk with you in open tonight; I hope you join us again.
I know you don't want to hear this, but I want to remind you of what I have said a couple times before - - I had help, sweetie. I had meds, I had a therapist, and I had my sister. I wouldn't have made it without them. They told me it was possible to get better, and I hung onto that.
Nothing at all made sense to me back then, and I couldn't see past what was happening to me . . . but they could see, and they kept me grounded. I also read magazine articles written by other people who had been through it and got better; that gave me hope.
If you can get the courage, or whatever it is that you need, to reach out and ask for help, it would be so good for you, love. You are feeling very disconnected right now, and it would help to "connect" with someone who can show you how to slow down your thoughts and get control of them again. It is almost impossible to reason rationally when you are in this state of mind, and having someone bouncing things back at you might be very helpful.
Good night, sweetie. I hope you sleep and get some rest.
