The worst walking panic attack today in the middle of the supermarket. Wish I knew what triggered it. I hate this.

I so understand wanting to hit rewind and get a do-over on life. Often I am there myself.

What is vital for me is to try to live in the present - I can't do anything about the past, so dwelling in...

Continuing to fight with myself. Some days I don't know why it even matters - always a struggle.

Very isolated right now. Feeling like I don't belong anywhere. That I don't fit in. I am here, but on the outside looking in... not understanding the light, the warmth, the laughter. It all...

I have good days, I have bad days. Like all of us I suppose. Holidays are usually on the down side and give me more trouble with self.

Because I spend most of my time alone. I usually cope alone. It's hard to need others.

I do what I can, but spend too much time alone. These past few days I have really been needing support but I am not very good at asking for it - or, for that matter, accepting it.

Googling it and posting a link is the easiest way to explain. Really tiny dolls that you are supposed to tell your worries to and put under your pillow at night. I'm chuffed about them - they are...
