Struggling a bit
Ah, I completely understand. I've followed your posts for a while and I know that you are strong and more than capable of shutting your AV down. You know drinking won't help solve anything. My thoughts are with you. I am also available through pm if you ever feel that may help you.

In general terms, I finally drove off my closest friend. She is not "gone" per se, but has reached a limit on how much I can lean on her. I get that. My problems need to be addressed by a professional (I was seeing a therapist but he moved to another state). Time to find another one... but I have trust issues and it takes a LONG time for me to feel comfortable enough to even discuss anything.
Building a relationship with a therapist takes some time too. I am in a "crack" if you get the meaning.

Hi AF, Whatever it is, I know you can fight it. You are a very strong person and not trusting people I do understand how that is cause I am the same way!! However, I have been letting my walls down one by one each day though. You can do it too when ever you are ready!!
Hang in there--- (((((((AF)))))))

I sincerely hope you can NOT DRINK....I have had a terrible time today with wanting to drink, due to my inability to connect on a deep level with the people I care about the most
when I try I get scared and feel like I am suffocating
and when I don't try, I feel lonely and sad and isolated....
tough spot to be in and it makes me want to drink -- hit me hard today, but I ate some cookies, took a nap, came to SR for help, and have a couple of shows to watch for entertainment tonight....
we all know how hard it can be, but I hope you get through this without drinking
hugs, Trish
