Deppies:

Things have been so confused lately. I am not sure whether my vague memories are real - whether the incident in the school sick bay was real or not, whether the nurse really did need to look at me, whether the bus driver was trying to look in. It was the smell of hot water bottles that triggered this memory. But I am not sure if it is real or not. I am so scared that I am going to find out more of this memory. I don't know if I can even trust myself. I can't fall asleep at night because I am worried of bad dreams and memories - perhaps this is only a dream?

Separately, I am so worried about my mother - she was driving me to work, and she was drunk. She was talking nonsense and her foot was heavy on the break most of the time. I was scared and frustrated. I need to rely on her for so many things, yet I am finding her so frustrating. I can't hug anyone in my family, except for my little sister, I can't trust my mother.

I want to know when this is going to end, when there is going to be a little bit of peace in my head, when there is going to be a resoulution. I am so afraid that there won't be a resolution, and I don't know how much longer I can keep going. Sometimes it is so hard to put on a smile and pretend that everything is ok, I am afraid that this is eventually going to cost me my friends, my job, my marks.

I had a good cry last night, and I thought about all the things that I have lost - why is it that everyone else is OK with change, but I can't seem to handle it.

I want to let all of the deppies out there know that there was a little tear or two for you - I am sharing your pain, and I hope that things become easier for you.

hey kc,
i know its easier said then down but maybe try and just leave the memory if it comes it does if it doesnt i think you'd be a lot better off. maybe you have a reason fo rnot being good with change? i hate change but at other times i love it. usaully depends on how much i want to change the situation..

hi kc,
thankyou for your advice and wisdom.
i think it is good to have a cry we need to let out some of the tension somewhere.
better to cry then to hold it all in and then suddenly go off like a champagne bottle.
im sorry your mum is behaving like the child and you my little dear have to be the parent, and the one that has to hold it all together, but you are more resilient than you think. remember to look forward to what you want and desire and work towards it.
even though it may be hard at the moment to believe this but,i know you are worth more than you think you are.
love and light abby.

Dearest KC,

Have you brought up the issue of your memory with your Psyc yet?. she/he would be a great SUPPORT to explore your memory further.

Change can be unsettling some times, and other times change can be very positive. Try
not to be so hard on your self sweet heart,we can all be un nerved by change at some points in our lives. This issue would also be helpful to talk through with your Psyc.

I send EXTRA SUPPORT,STRENGTH,HOPE,LIGHT & LOVE.

((((((((((((((((((((KC))))))))))))))))))))))
