Toph, I'm incapacitated by that kind of pain, too, but it's only ever happened because I did it to myself. Well, okay, once, Once, a boyfriend fooled around on me and I thought that hurt, but it wasn't anything compared to how I can make myself feel with just my own thoughts.
I didn't leave my husband because I fell in love with anybody. I left him because it was intolerable to stay any longer. I was obsessional, depressed and suicidal.
But it so happened that my therapist was a gorgeous man who paid attention and made me feel more significant than I had in many years. So. Is that love? I don't know, but I made it into love because that's what made me feel like I wanted to live. And I'm still using it 'cause it still works. Who knows if it's real. Who ever knows. Like I think you said earlier, we do what works.
