This is just a vent poem its not at all good but I just had to do another phone therapy sessions and its fucking with my body big time.
Head burning
Heart in pain
Frustration and yearning
Who can I blame
Today besieged by a deluge of rain
I struggle with being told
Stand on the red dot
Don’t get too close
Under my breath mutter a prayer
Don’t ask me how my day is going
When you don’t really want to be knowing the truth
This distance is a fucking curse
How much more disembodied can we become
Getting fed up
Want to shout at someone
But then I will only be judged
Cant even think about love
Right now
Longing to look in your eyes
Or have at least have a hug
Sorry social distancing
Today I have had
Enough!
Yep, I’m right there too, longing for a hug from eileen, that physical contact, I need it, I crave it. ❤

Really feel for you Deborah. Such powerful words that will resonate with so many. It’s okay to want to shout out – put some crazy loud music on and dance like a crazy woman to expel some of that tension 🙂 sending you love and hugs from across the seas 💓

Hang in there this is so hard right now and I know what you are going through. I am also struggling in all this. It’s funny to me I thought I loved isolation but nope that really isn’t the case. Please remember you are not alone you will never be alone! Here is a virtual hug 🤗!

I hear you. This lockdown and the state of our world really interferes with our mental health in more ways than one. The hug thing and not seeing our therapists in person is especially tough. Sending love. ❤

It is Rayne. I just saw a woman crying on the news last night and they said “and no one was allowed to hug here” this along with images of children visiting grandparents behind glass horrify me… but we do have to endure.. hope you are coping okay and sending all of that love back Rayne… ❤

Thank you for posting this. Many people including myself are in the same spot. The way I deal with it is too try too learn something new. Lol my blog. I’ve never blogged and never thought of blogging before but it’s now that we need to try our best to stay strong through this. As hard as it is to do. Try to think of any positive that you can. So I said during this time I am going to use the time to learn and come out a better stronger person. And i can read more books on helping my daughter wither her ASD. Please try to stay strong.

I agree think its wonderful if you starting blogging now. I have positive days and then some days I go into a dark frustrated place due to old trauma but I agree with every word you wrote here. And everyone is in the same boat just not everyone had known such depths of isolation this acts at times as such a powerful trigger. I will. Love to you Jamie.

Beautifully said. Use the pain of your old trauma to motivate you if you can. I do this daily and it gives me strength I never knew existed. I do have bad days too but I just try to remember why I’m doing what I’m doing and think of things I’m grateful for. We are all isolated now and we all took our freedom for granted. We have to accept this and try to use this time in a positive way. Goodluck with everything. Love to you too

Yes, and I have a feeling that those of us who have had to go through that kind of isolation know there is a way through… someone I respect has called this a collective dark night experience.. I see a lot of wisdom in that..

Yes. Use this time to come out a better stronger person. Read and learn. Watch YouTube clips that teach you things. We all just need to try to focus on the positive while there is so much negativity out there.

Well I do think crying about the distance makes sense as its shows us something essential about our hearts and true needs.. Just my opinion.. but then we look to the light and the beauty… its both/and.. 🙂
