I want help, but I don't want it.
Help is offered, but I refuse.
I need help, but I don't require it.

I'm not hungry, but I eat.
I'm thristy, but I won't drink.
I feel fine, but I'm not.
I feel messed up, but I am okay.

I write emails to friends saying everything is well.
Then five minutes later I am sobbing on the couch.

I keep imagining the worst things in the world, and hope that they happen. Then I pray that they won't. I react as though those things have happened. Imagined scenarios occur in my mind.

I know I am a good person. I know I have worth in this world. I just cannot believe it.

I have confidence in myself, and my ability to eventually reach the other side of a cathartic experience. I am very insecure.

I have many friends. But I am not close to anyone. I don't feel as though I have anyone in the real world to turn to. I wouldn't turn to anyone even if they were available.

I am a contradiction. I am both proud and frustrated by this characteristic.

There, of course, is nobody around when I am waiting for something. Anything?

Rach--that spoke beautifully to many of the contradictions inherent in moody moods.

I hope this helps you feel freer to be honest with friends about how you are feeling.

Rach

(((hugs))) i think you just spoke beautifully what alot of us are feeling.

I just so wish we were all closer together so we could get together when one of us needed it.

I couldn't even begin to put into words how I'm feeling at the moment... you're so clever :o)

(hugs) Nikki

(ps - said I'd go reply to all your msg's didn't I!!)
