I think what appears to be mental blocks are (sometimes) abstract fits like post shock syndrome. The mental thought of what's going on combined with the physical is a double barrel. That said, nobody wants to drink too much, even to take the edge off. I think people on the outside have no idea what it's like to be diminished day in, day out, no matter how much they see or do for you. They can still get up and walk around the block and they cannot imagine not walking around the block. It's too soul shocking to even describe, though your blog is giving everyone a real idea of what the hours are like. It's not so easy to take up a hobby, like knitting while you're trying to accept you can't go fishing. <br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06718310733241160126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651496850952600622.post-28367318479630842252016-02-09T14:47:41.073-07:002016-02-09T14:47:41.073-07:00That comment was more directed at those who would ...That comment was more directed at those who would judge me for drinking at home alone. Also, you will often find that I move from one emotional state to another, fairly quickly. It's a function of failed medication right now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569763685182951696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651496850952600622.post-60742402666418387702016-02-09T02:01:22.544-07:002016-02-09T02:01:22.544-07:00Confused.
