[Viva] November groups

[Dee Dee]

Hey M,

 

Glad to hear meetings are still happening. I wish I could be there this month but my Dr appt was changed to first week Dec! Sad!

 

How are you doing? I am guessing with this gift giving season upon us that you are very busy replenishing stock for your home business.

 

I wish I had internet at home. So many days I think about something I would like to discuss with you but by the time I get to the library computer the momentum is lost...

 

1) I watch each week as my pill box empties and needs refilling. It feels like a reminder that my life is passing me by so fast; that my days are numbered, constantly reminds me I am sick, constantly reminds me I have a secret, constantly reminds me that I must own up to my role in my situation-would love to blame someone else totally but in reality I think I own some of that. I keep busy to not have the time to think of my situation.

 

2) Thru volunteering at the local soup kitchen I met a woman who helped me with a job at the BC Parks last summer. I met a few people there and remain friends with a few people even now that the job has ended. It is nice to have 'friends' here but the reality is I know I am not being real. These people don't know me, don't know about me, I have a big secret which I feel puts a wall up between myself and any 'friend'. I know we all have secrets but those are ones we could tell if we chose to. My secret I don't want to tell and for lots of reasons. Different kind of secret as I see it. Makes me feel false or phony.

 

Not sure if I have voiced myself well but If I was at group I would bring up these topics. Does anyone else think these things?

 

Cheers for now,

D
