Another world

Just observing the world today, and how everyone interacts and is full of 'normal'..

doing, playing, eating, talking, carrying on.

I know weve gone over this many times, but i just cant get over how 'not a part' of this world i feel.

I personally feel lik'e im being haunted. my rational mind of course knows its all in my mind/hormones..

but my head is in another place, another space, like ive been abducted or something.

and not by very nice aliens...

ive had a few good days, but anything sets me into a tailspin of anxiety, darkness ..all emotionally based and completely irrational. (at least im aware that its irrational and not real)

My coping skills get low whether its from lack of sleep or something thats happened with my boys, or something serious.. i get scared and go into survival mode..i think of my boys, and how i need to press on, and how they deserve the whole me, and are not getting that.

im  fearful i cant keep going,and 

invariably..i keep going.

just shouting out from 'menospace' to say hi..to you great ladies.

      Hi Samantha!  I hate that my head does not feel clear.  I was chatting on the phone with a friend yesterday and when I hung up...I was thinking  ...did I just talk to her?  Did I sound weird??  Was I babbling??? Sooo sick of this 😡
