I understand intellectually that love is far more powerful, but now have come to the realization that this was actually a PTSD experience for me; that I was reliving past and vastly far more traumatic T-givings. I knew at the time that my reactions were out of proportion to the situation, yet it took several days and the tender words of a close and far away friend for me to fully appreciate just what I was experiencing.
No wonder that I'm feeling so very drained and depressed right now. I've got the nicely suppressed memories of years' worth of really awful, tragic and ugly holidays just percolating up in my head now. It was all I could do not so cry in my yoga class last night; the gentle and loving words of our teacher just ripped my heart into tiny little pieces.
Just what to do with them; that's the predicament.
