What is the last time you cried and why?

@RobinPhoenix i do hope she is alright!

@popmol Thanks. I really appreciate that. I so hope, your words will be true.

@RobinPhoenix Hopefully she will be in touch soon...

@HootyTheNightOwl Thank you. That's all I'm doing right now: Hoping for a sign of life from her.... being condemned to inactivity and the gruelling uncertainty are driving me crazy....

@RobinPhoenix Yes... the silence and not knowing sucks - then your brain starts to fill in the gaps with the most ridiculous nonsense.

@HootyTheNightOwl Exactly that... my imagination comes up with the most absurd scenarios.... I try to distract myself but no chance... my mind does what it wants.... and every new thought, every minute her silence lasts longer makes my heart heavier and the worries about her well-being bigger ....

@RobinPhoenix Yes... It's brutal to have to go through this. I generally try to talk to others - but it's not the same because no one else fills that gap inside.

Sometimes, people can give me the strength to fight on for a while longer, though.

@RobinPhoenix i do know how you feel i'm a doom thinker, so any abnormality and i start thinking the worst but than i use occam's razor to go through the ideas and which is most likely!
it calms me down a bit maybe try it!

@popmol Thanks for the tip. I'm dreading the night... I am so tired that I could sleep standing up, but I already know that as soon as I lie in bed I will only brood... I'll still try to apply your tip... if that doesn't work, I'll go for a jog and listen to music on my headphones... maybe that will help... ;)

@RobinPhoenix As a creative mind, writing it out might help you, too.

Usually, I find that a poem or two can be enough to clear my head... even if I don't share them with others.

@HootyTheNightOwl Thank you for your thoughtful input... I had thought of that too, but I can't get a single thought down on paper.... my creativity seems to be completely blocked by worry....


It's late here... I'm trying to sleep now.... and if that doesn't work, you know what I'll do instead 🏃🏼‍♂️🎧🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶


Take care of yourself and call for help if you get worse (((hugs))))

@RobinPhoenix Yes, that happens, too. Sometimes, it's possible to push through it by sitting there with pen and paper (or whatever your preferred method is)... or, it can be for me, anyway.

Hopefully, you will be able to sleep without the need for a jog.

I'm relatively fine now... I seem to be through the worst - though my stomach or eating still aren't back to rights. I will need a few more days for that, I think.

@RobinPhoenix yes! keep up hope though :)

@RobinPhoenix Dear one. Please. Contact me. I heard you were worried. How may I help? I am at work tonight. Leave me words.
