Again

[flexibeast]

Had yet another nervous breakdown today. Partly because i'm simply exhausted, and "crying tired", as it were; but partly because i'm over-sensitive to things. People keep on berating me for this ludicrous level of sensitivity; but believe me, i've been this way all my life, and ongoing attempts by myself to not take things so personally have failed. Indeed, it's merely continued to create a big ball of hurt inside me; and when, conversely, i stand up for my feelings, it merely annoys and/or angers people and isolates me further.

So i don't know what i'm going to do. All i know is that i'm not going to stop caring about how people treat each other - i'm not even sure i can stop caring - simply to make my life more comfortable. i just have to keep on hoping there's another alternative.

You my dear are one of the special people in this world - without whom life would be oh so much worse! We need many more caring people such as yourself, so I am glad that you have no intention of changing yourself in this regard!

However, in order to carry on with your caring and without destroying yourself in the process, I think it is imperative that you are able to find a way to cope with all the desperate and the horrid things that as Activists we hear about on a daily basis, you even more so because of the feeds you read. I say that this is imperative as otherwise you may find that you are 'diabled' with anguish to such a degree, that you can no longer do what you do, and that would be such a loss to us all! You cannot put it all right, but you can and do make a sizeable contribution to it.

It is a delicate balance I have found; to be a caring, ethical, and loving person, and at the same time be able to protect ones inner core; so that one can carry on holding that torch to light the way for others. We have our burn out times, but hopefully are supported by loved ones and helped to carry on.

So my Love, some self preservation is called for, especially with all of your debilitating health issues. It is undeniably a delicate balance, extremely difficult to achieve!

I wish you luck and send you my love and support,

Sacred Harlot XXX.
