, too, uprooted just prior to 9/11. A very difficult time to
be without a stable home. I, too, had several major traumas since
then. I so hear you about needing someone to talk. A support system
is so very important. Many people simply cannot "be"
with such intensity of feelings. Everyone was coping with some
form of post traumatic shock, holding their own psychies together;
and many do this by "not feeling". Along comes someone
such as myself, and from your post maybe you, too, that absolutely
needs to feel the feelings, needs to speak about them, needs to
be heard and needs support and help. I can't speak for you, but
I am much better at helping than asking for and receiving help.
I was hanging on by a thread. Embroiled in conflict with my family.
Reactive to the slightest emotional trigger. And feeling, somehow
unable to connect to the support that was there for me. Fortunatley,
walking along side that support was enough to choose life, to
choose to live. Once that decision was made I began to rely on
my most precious motherwort tincture. Hot baths have been an important
part of my healing as my body became so painful, especially my
joints. Now, I am beginning to cook with wild foods. i don't know
why I could not seem to get down the infusions. I did incorporate
seaweeds and a ground mix of herbs a friend put together, all
in the food catagory.
summary: go wild. eat wild foods, seaweeds, dandelion, burdock,
choose to live then choose to thrive. Let go of worrying about
the state of the world. Trust the Grandmothers to watch out for
you and the world, at least until you are stronger, they do anyway.
Finding a stable place to live and putting some structure into
my life (for me it was part time work and classes) was most important.
gettng myself financially stabalized reduced a tremendous amout
of stress.
