Yea, I can tell just from the brief conversation we have had today that she is feeling pressured and not at all helped by what I have said and done, even though it was minimal.
It's your perception that it was minimal. Even if it was, she can magnify it, and in depression, that's what people do, magnify perceived negatives, discount positives.
I think I am going to take her up on her advice that I go out tonight to a basketball game and try to focus on something else for a change.
Good idea.
I am just so numb right now. Is that kinda like a stage you get to? I have been feeling anger, pain, desperation, frustration, and now this dull numbness that permeates everything.
You're on the road to emotional exhaustion. Detachment is key is relieving that. I know all this requires tremendous effort, yet you're the only one that can truly help yourself. I've been there! So I can tell you, as tremendous the effort is to get there, that's how tremendous the payoff is.
Amazing what some people think.
