One doctor says it's classic post stress disorder, another that it is Borderline Personality disorder. Seroxatine helps, and Diazapam gives the 'instant' control needed at times. Neither are a solution, merely soothing flannels which have limited effect.
I've read some of the comments in here, all kind, all supportive; and that's nice as far as it goes.
Sadly, little smiling cartoon faces and sugar-coated quotes from Christmas cards, have rather the reverse effect on me. I know they are intended as a help, but (for me) they seem hollow.
Hollow. As good a way as any to explain my life over the past twenty or so years.
I'm 'talking' here, because it's the only form of communication with someone that is feasible. Personal explanations with Physicians never can fully explain the feelings, the despair. As a retired Police Sergeant, I've had considerable contact with people who were acting or thinking beyond the commonly accepted standards. I was the one with all of the answers..well, supposed to have all of the answers.
Now I avoid people. I hope I also avoid any sugary replies, cartoon images and the omnipresent 'let's all hold hands' syndrome. I'm happy if this works for you. It's not my idea of mutual support.
Ah well. Maybe tomorrow will be better. I don't believe it will though..it never is.
