I'm working. I look fine.
My emotional state is failing. I need to cling on to those things of safety and self to help shore myself up to keep going.
Ha ha! Sure was clothed, fed, and sheltered growing up. None of the other things I just listed.
Sure I can repeat "I am enough" until the cows come home.... because we all relate to milk cow production and cows coming home to have there full teats drained.
Fuck this. Again I am left all on my own to make a guess about myself. Even if someone was willing to listen to me, how long until my normal way of thinking and talking becomes too much for them to understand? I'm also 47, white, and a big beard - no one tells me when I'm speaking gibberish. They nod and move on.
I gave up enjoying anything because I want to. Where is my reward! Fuck everything. I'm just wrong about everything and my dubious grasp on reality and how it works keeps getting eroded now that I do not delude myself into thinking I do know something.
I've worked my way into a comfortable node of no escape. Talking to others about how I feel and think is met with confusion. Even my therapist, has to tell me bluntly, I'm speaking gibberish. Like now.
