A key word that you will see:
Fragmentation: a mental process where a person becomes intensely emotionally focused on one aspect of themselves, such as “I am angry” or “no one loves me,” to the point where all thoughts, feelings and behavior demonstrate this emotional state, in which, the person does not or is unable to take into account the reality of their environment, others or themselves and their resources. This is a term that my therapist and I use and is on the continuum of dissociation.
I just wanted to let you know that Christmas went well, but triggered things that I don't quite know what it is, yet. I am feeling depressed, withdrawn and very protective. I know that I've numbed out. Seems like I'm afraid to talk or do anything right now. I am working with this in therapy and I'm okay. Just not quite ready to write or even talk about what is going on. Oh, and I am really tired, but still having disruptive sleeping. I wish I could say more, but that is all for now.

I hope the sleeping problems straighten out. Sleep is so important to our mental health. Write when you're feeling able. Take care of you during this time.
Hello. I'm sorry to hear that christmas didnt go too well. I know you'll be okay though because you are Very strong and you can make it through anything including this. not sure if it matters coming from a 26 year old blogger from Northern california but I'm super proud of you! You are a great example of strength and courage. Take care, I'll be praying for you.

@Drifter. Thanks, but despite medications, I haven't had regular sleep for eight years. Actually, most of my life. However, right now, I feel tired.
@J. Thank you. Of course, your opinion matters. I'm old enough and wise enough, HA, to know that I can learn from everyone of all ages and backgrounds from infants to the elderly. Now, being from So. Cal., I'm not sure the No. Cal...that I might have a problem with. Just kidding. Thank you again for your support.
