As we fall into the drink
Will you finally decide to swim?
Removing your lead shoes
Allowing me to rest and float
Is that so much to ask?
History has taught me
That will cling until we drown
Hiding in your comfort zone
Like a useless child
Forcing me to take the reins
Instead of holding your promises
Sacrifice is foreign to you
As if my example never took
They say madness
Is doing the same thing
And expecting different results
In that case
You’re fucking nuts
So here we are
Two drowning fools
You for being you
And me for letting it get this far
Not a great week or month. The year might not be too hot outside of the book arena. No wonder my stomach is in knots.

Yeah–I don’t get it. Happily, I’m not in a relationship like that right now, but I have been–and so has my husband . . .

Just remember Charles where the stress landed you just a few days ago. I know it is hard not to worry and stress, but worry doesn’t change a thing.

I know and I’m trying. Though at times I think I’d like the quiet and peace of the ER just to get a reprieve from the mess.

Charles, Recognizing the problem is 90% of the solution. It is not easy for others to understand, but you need to keep working on your craft. You are good.

That’s part of the issue here. I recognize the problem and I have for a long time. It’s just coming to a really dark, bad point where the choice is awkward. Can’t really go into it on a public forum.

Thanks. I appreciate it. Right now I’m trying to minimize the people I drag into this.

Every problem always seem so in the beginning…but when you reflect back in later years, in most cases, it isn’t as bad, and I hope for you that will be the case:)

Not sure if it will help, but I had digestive problems a while ago with stomach issues and found ginger tea after eating helped a lot. 🙂

Sadly, it’s more complicated than that. Intestinal muscle spasms bad enough that I need a specialist. It’s the only way to get the proper muscle relaxants. As long as it isn’t another issue.

Hope so, but there is a high chance that I’ll have to go back for various tests. Someone mentioned a possible Barium test and a catscan.
