Dear Bobber,
I know we are all grateful to have eachother to come to and be real, honest, and to feel understood.....

The stress, emotionally and phsyically, that we are under is immense, and sometimes unbearable...it is no wonder that sometimes we snap and lose patience...or cry and lose hope, or toss and turn, unable to sleep from the pain..(I'm writing this at 2:00 am because of that pain...)
I know there are medical explanations of why our limbic system, our emotionality is affected by our disorder.........

Much of the time we are on the edge, and are able to come back to the middle, to neutrality...but sometimes those extremes are there....

Lately, being on the edge for me has resulted in much crying...just talking about my pain, my old life, brings on uncontrollable sobbing...
Our emotional roller-coaster ride...

Please be easy on yourself and have the compassion for yourself that you have given to others...That hour of debate must have worn you down, dear friend....
It might be helpful to explain to your friend or write him a letter....If he is a friend, he will understand.....I know we all understand
You are going through so much more lately...
We understand....
Hope4thebest
