Therapy: At times, clinically I was aware of the process, but applying it to myself, I could be clueless. My journey leads to this anonymous place where I can tell of my life of abuse and trauma primarily through my past journals, current commentary, some current journaling and posts on specific issues I face. I hope to increase awareness & compassion for those of us with mental illness.

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.
This song is based on the Civil War; however, writer Stephen Stills says, "It's a war song, not just a Civil War song. We lost that war, too: we still have racism, don't we?" This is dedicated to all the soldiers that we lost for our freedom. Thank you!!!
FIND THE COST OF FREEDOM (1982)
Daylight again, following me to bed I think about a hundred years ago, how my fathers bled I think I see a valley, covered with bones in blue All the brave soldiers that cannot get older been askin' after you Hear the past a callin', from Ar- -megeddon's side When everyone's talkin' and noone is listenin', how can we decide?
(Do we) find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground
Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down (Find the cost of freedom buried in the ground)
They are my favorite group. I just recently saw them in concert and have seen them more times than I can count. I also got to meet Graham Nash, who was very nice, and even more handsome in person. I was excited to be able to use this song and glad that you enjoyed it. They make me feel warm inside.
