- That's the worst part for me-- the knowledge that one is responding in an
- emotionally dysfunctional way to something that isn't even really a crisis
- by any means, knowing that one should be able to get on with one's life, but
- just not knowing how.
-
- With me, it's not so much running for nurturing and comfort as brooding,
- contemplating what a stupid, fucked-up situation I've created, realizing
- that it's irrevocable but wanting to go back and fix it anyway. I gave up
- looking for comfort (for the most part) when it wasn't really there, and
- when I realized it wasn't solving my problem.
-
- Of course, I don't think this is the solution you're looking for, deb.
- I know it isn't the one I'm really looking for.
