Validation

So needed...rarely received. It is the reason for writing and publishing my memoirs. I need...I want to tell people what I have gone through...what has happened to me...what a daily struggle it is. But that requires trust. Yeah, trust. Don't have any of that. And the few times I did open up the person I told did not know how to handle my truth. The relationship changes...often disappears. But I live with this every day...ache every day...doesn't seem to be any relief. So I have developed daily 'games'/routines/disciplines to get through the moment/the day. Like get & stay in the positive/compartmentalize/exercise/try to eat right...and try, most of the times unsuccessfully, to get a good night's sleep.

Stay Strong!
