Still need to work through early trauma

I expect that I will be posting a lot giving voice to my pain and this process of healing. Giving voice ma
Makes the healing real.

Very comforting.. I have moved into not resisting. I can tell by a number of things that I have fallen into a depression and yet I don't feel sad and not really down per se but I am completely immobilized..I hate it but I know it is temporary..and I expect I am on the verge of real, life changing healing. It has been slow but ever steady since the beginning of the summer.. I can bear the slowness because the progress becomes steadily clearer.
Hopalong:
Your steadiness and positivity are awe inspiring, GS...
may the extra weight lift soon.
Headway...you are still steering true.
Atta YOU,
Hops

My depression may have broken this evening, much like a fever breaks. I'll know tomorrow. Suddenly I felt better. Then the heavy blanket and darkness lifted and I felt like getting things done. My fingers are crossed.
