Jan 2012

i hit absolute empty the other night. i feel estranged from the two people i love most, one by distance and the other by anger. i have plenty of people who love and support me, but i can't have the two that i need, and that makes it all the worse because all i do is beat myself up for being selfish and needy.

the emotional and mental pain is starting to manifest itself physically and i'm losing my appetite.

i haven't been able to stop crying the last few days and all that accomplishes is pissing off my husband. i feel so tired and alone right now.
