My Silent Voice (Diary)

September 23rd, 2017

My notes for today: Fake people with Fake motives yet they are the ones you are suppose to love and care about??

It is so hard to change me when daily I face the same unproductive crap that keeps feeding on my Traums's How do you get out of this dark hole when everything around you keeps dragging you into this pit. I never knew Love and I've had to make my pain my pleasure and find Happyness in it. Makes me wonder are some people born just to endure torrment and abuse. I trive as I just want to survive, The saying we all have the right to life and the pursuit of happyness. I'm still looking, still trying to find what should already be mine.

THINGS ARE CHANGING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE

I don;t understand what is going on inside. Time is standing still on the outside. This has been the longest day of my life that I can remember. I can't figure out why/ Not sure if it is being caused by anxiety or stress. Maybe I am blending. Or maybe an alter is doing this. I'm sleeping so hard I don't even hear the phone ring. Am I depressed? Time is standing still.

I don't know why????????

I am here going through all my notifications, and as I read them and reply where I need to, I have this overwhelming desire to break down and cry. I don't know why. I don't understand what these feelings are. I can not fix what I don't know what or how.

I am struggling to stay uplifted, but it is like I am losing this fight and getting my but beat. If you don't even know how to put words to what your insides are experiencing, you can't fix what is broken. What do you do? I feel so superficial. Drowning in my own mess.

Just telling you, diary, My truth, my struggle. Yet I desired to help others and not wait too long to get professional help if I can find it and can find someone that helps and does not hurt them.

WorkingitThrough2 December 25th, 2023

Home alone, Max and I, no groceries. The husband lied and said he was going to the doctor on Christmas and that he had an appointment. Do I look like a D***fool? I called the doctor's office and found out for sure that it was closed. I called his cell phone at 2:00 and told him the office was closed. It is now 4:37, and he has not got home. He is grown, and he feels he has to lie.

@WorkingitThrough2

He had gone to his family's house to eat dinner while I sat at home by myself with no food either. But I had a frozen pizza I cooked and burned up, so I ate the top of it and threw the rest away. When my daughter got home, she brought me two plates of food. It was very good. Then, my husband came to my room to ask me if I wanted a piece of his three slices of cake, and I asked him where the cake came from. He said from his brother's house. He could have brought me food from their house, but of course, it never registered to him to think about me. So when I said I was not cooking and I hoped he had a TV dinner, it was just the same way that he does me. I had hoped he would have thought about his actions and would do differently. No such luck. I feel so puzzled inside about how to deal with him without falling into the trap of getting even or paying him back. Frustrated with being treated like a maid or some uncaring person. He brings out the worst feelings in me. I am trapped in this vicious cycle like a hamster on a spinning wheel going nowhere fast. How do I move forward in a life that is just miserable and unable to change? I try hard to accept my fate, but it is not an easy place to be. The trap, Catch-22, no resolution. Dementia on top of his own junk makes my life feel like Hades. My therapist says I am still in the Trauma daily. The only way to fix this is to go into a homeless shelter and give my dog up. For me, that option is unthinkable. Those are poor options. My health is beginning to suffer from the height of this stress, but I keep wearing my mask as though things are fine, and that is far from the truth. I often think I was never meant to be in this lifetime, and that is the reason my life has been such a mess. Trauma at birth, and it never has stopped. You can not heal from what you live in daily. Who has the answers? My brain has just shut down, and the inner people seem to want to surface out of their darkness to the surface where it would not be good for me or any others on the outside. I feel that against my own will, someone inside is trying to blend into the outside while drawing me into their space inside. Their place might be a whole lot better than mine. But the rage that Thunder has and can and will exhibit would be costly on everyone's end. Got to keep the inners in and not allow them to *** to the outer world. 

mytwistedsoul December 26th, 2023

@WorkingitThrough2 Hey I'm sorry he did this. It was a pretty ridiculous lie - there's no doctors offices ever open on major holidays like today. Was he upset or anything? I mean I know he has dementia - should he be driving alone? 

Kind of bad timing but - Merry Christmas ❤️

Twist, I feel like a rat, that nobody likes.. but this one is very cute. My husband just used the doctor as an excuse to get out of the house since I did not prepare or buy food to cook for dinner. Why? Because we never made groceries. I do get tired, I am not a maid or servant. It's all about what he wants when he wants it, but giving back little just makes more and more for me to do. Almost like he feels I got to earn my Keep.

mytwistedsoul December 26th, 2023

@WorkingitThrough2 Well I definitely like you ❤️ I think you've done more than enough to "earn your keep" over the years. He sounds like he has a very old mind set. Like from back in the fifties - when women were supposed to wait on men - tend to the house and the children and do it all with a smile on your face and a song in your heart. The world isn't like that anymore but he seems to still think it is. His family probably adds to those thoughts he has. It's not right and it's not fair to you. And he is missing out on - you. Because you're so much more than what he wants to think ❤️

I am so ready to throw in the towel of this marriage I can almost taste it. 52 years and each year gets worse. O physically and emotionally am fell up to the brim. I just don't want to go in a homeless shelter. I know that I can not afford a decent place to live that would feel safe to me on my income alone.

A therapist told me that qw always have a choice. We may not like the choices but we do have one.

I guess that I am too messed up to make that choice. neither option would result in me being happy. Which outweighs the problem. Why can't I just walk away?

mytwistedsoul December 26th, 2023

@WorkingitThrough2 That therapist is right. There's always choices but sometimes those choices suck. A homeless shelter wouldn't feel safe either. I don't think it's that you're too messed up to make a choice - especially when each choice is crap - ya know? Each choice has a price to pay. It's easy for people say to do this or that when they're not the ones facing it. And if neither choice would make you happy - sometimes it's the devil you know? 

Would the council of aging be able to help with housing? Would you and your daughter be able to get a place together? Combine your incomes? From what I've seen in the papers and online rent has become even more expensive
I don't think it's as easy to walk away as alot of people might think. 52 years is a long time. You've put yourself into your home with your she shed and all the work you've done inside and out. And Max - Max is your companion - your friend. He's part of this too and I know it wouldn't be easy to give him up. I wish there was an easy or easier solution to what you're dealing with ❤️

@mytwistedsoul

Thank you, Soul, for your understanding. Because I am married to him, and his income is so high, It disqualifies me from any assistance. I would have to divorce him, and that requires a year of separation even to do that. Then, I would lose all my benefits, such as medical and the portion of his income that I receive. That is why there is so much at stake to be considered. My husband is the type of person who likes to do spiteful things and likes to get even down to withholding my money until he decides to give it to me. On the other hand, I never ask him for my money cause then he would feel like he has the upper hand in every way. So I do without and keep my mouth shut, and he comes around a lot quicker cause he sees it is not affecting me. He is unaware that I stash part of my money away every month for such times as he nuts up. I have money to do most of the things I want. The Lord multiplies it so I always have more than enough for myself and to share with others.

You are right about how the economy has gone up, and the price for just renting is outrageous.

It is just so hard ever to feel joy or contentment. My attorney has told me my case is rare, and so far, they have been unable to help. The VA tells me not to divorce him. All the help agencies say divorce is the only way they might be able to help. So you see what I mean catch 22, D***if I do and d***if I don't. I can not ever remember being happy. Don't I get a turn? I can't imagine what I have done to deserve this life. The Trauma keeps living. It makes me wonder if I am not lying to people who come here looking for answers and support that I may be contributing to building false hope or if I am really lying to them🤔. Is healing really possible???

I hate saying all this stuff; I try not to, but then I get so full I feel like I am going to burst if I don't.

mytwistedsoul December 26th, 2023

@WorkingitThrough2 Oh holy cow - it really is a catch 22. That's crazy! You have to give up everything and have nothing to get something resembling any help from any of the agencies. That's not right at all. You can tell the people who made the rules and stipulations have never been in a situation where they needed help of any kind

He sounds like a narcissist. You have to play by his rules or he keeps things from you. He makes you go without just so he can have control. Good for you for not giving in to it but that sucks too - that you have to do without until he sees fit to give you what's yours. It's good that you can tuck some away each time. It's just horrible that you have to do that at all
So they don't even give a definite answer just that they might be able to help if you do this or that. IF.. You're caught between a rock and a hard place

I don't think you're lying to anyone. The support and care and kindness you give everyone is genuine and honest. The answers are what they are because nothing is 100% certain. Not for me and not for you or anyone else. The answers are fluid I guess? Because what works for one person might not another person but that doesn't mean that the answer is wrong ❤️ 

This is your space and you can talk about whatever is on your mind - the good - the bad - I won't ever judge anything you say ok? It's better to let it out rather than keeping it all inside where it causes problems

I had an encounter with Precious for the first time in a very long time. I am not sure if it was a dream or what. I am so ecstatic about this encounter with her. She said she did not want to be called Hortence anymore because it made her feel bad. She gave me some information about some fragmented portions of a part of my life that I could not make sense of. This is so amazing.

Why has she chosen to come and talk to me after all this time? But she explained something that happened when she was three years old. We were in a car going to Chicago on the interstate. Iran, Mrs. Evans, and a man. She and Irene were in the back seat. When my car door came ajar, and I was falling out of the car onto the interstate, Irene had to grab our arm to hold us in the car. We were screening, and Irene was holding our arm very tight. The man driving began to slow down and move to the side of the highway as they got me back into the car. We were scared we were going to get hurt. That man turned around to us in the back seat,  and said for us not to not move.

Precious shared all this with me. Wow, amazing. She came out and talked to me. It was our first real conversation, with no fussing or crying. I don't know if something happened to make her come out, but this meeting was very good. I asked her if she had a bed, and she said no, she sleeps in a cardboard box. I wonder if that is why I like making these doll houses of cardboard. Fascinating

They have not been very active since that therapist messed them up. Hope they don't start roaming around at night again and taking things from me😊. I had no fear this time, and It felt that I was more eager to accept her. I don't understand why now, and I really think this is crazy, but it was nice to converse with her.

@WorkingitThrough2 Omgosh this is wonderful news! ❤️ I'm so glad you got to talk with each other! She shared with you ❤️ This is a wonderful step in the right direction and shows she's more trusting towards you. Hopefully this will lead to the others trusting more and being willing to talk with you

Yea, I think it was good kind of because I was not scared this time, and she was not crying this time.❤️.

Jamie must be doing a pretty good job at being her guardian. Or maybe it is because I have been under more stress, or they are getting more active, idk.

Melvin goes in the morning to get his patients put in his leg. just one then the other later. Thursday, I have to take my car to the dealership to have some kind of recall part put on my car, which will take half a day to do. So this week is pretty full.

@WorkingitThrough2 That's definitely good! ❤️ It could be all of these. Maybe they're starting see how hard you're trying for all of you. The effort you're putting into building a relationship with them and gain their trust. Are you able to talk with Jamie at all?

How did your husbands surgery go? I hope he's doing ok. How did this go with your car? Hopefully it wasn't too serious of a recall

@mytwistedsoul

His surgery went well. Lasted longer than expected. They found one blockage area, and they were able to open it. I have been asking Precious about Jamie. She said he was taking care of her, but he has not spoken to me anymore. I will say this: they are up to old tricks of moving things and eating stuff. Now, it almost seems funny to me that they, or whichever one is doing this, have started up again😊.

The recall on my car was some anti-theft device. Stemming from something off of *** involving young people doing. This is the second recall for this issue they have done.

I have not had therapy since before the Holidays and I am starving to get back to therapy to tell my therapist about my breakthrough with Precious.

Have you been able to get your dad's estate stuff done as of yet? It must be very hard not to have the support that you need from your dad's wife. My mom did the same thing to me when she died.

You are better than me because I refused to handle any of it. I am here for you to when or if you need to vent❤️. Thanks for checking on me.

@WorkingitThrough2 I'm glad his surgery went well and they were able to open the blocked area. That must have been pretty scary for you ❤️

I'm glad she has Jamie taking care of her. He might feel he doesn't need to speak to you right now if he's handling things ok. Maybe you could let him know if he needs or wants anything he can always talk to you? I sometimes just let the quieter ones know that they're loved and appreciated. Someone getting into the peanut butter again? 😊 Some stuff when they do it - once you get used to it - it's almost reassuring. Like you weren't imagining it. For me it's when they get too quiet that I start to wonder - worry and then doubts creep in

Ugh the things some people get up to just because they saw it on the Internet. And then they wonder why they get into trouble 

I haven't been to therapy in about two months myself. Between my father and the holidays it's been hard to make it to appointments. That's probably why I've been struggling so much lately. I hope you get in to see your therapist soon! Does Precious ever talk with her? 

I haven't gotten anything done on his estate. His wife and I have been disagreeing on how to handle it. I want to just have a lawyer handle it since they would know what they're doing. She thinks we don't need one. She didn't even want to send it to probate! But I need official papers from the court to get some things done. I'm trying not to get frustrated with her but I'm about ready to tell her if she thinks she can do it then have at it and I'll step down. I'm trying not to be a jerk about it but some days it feels like she's got me running in circles with her flip flopping back and forth. Why he picked me anyway is beyond me. The whole situation just makes me feel really stupid 😞

I am startled by something I just heard Precious say to me. Got my head freaking out a bit. Precious just called me Mommie.?

I am not her mama, am I???

If she is a younger version of me, how in the heck does she think I am her mom? I can't get this thought to settle in my spirit. I am at a loss. Now, what do I say back to her to let her know that I am not without making her upset? Oh Lord, am I losing my mind for real?

This does not compute. Now I wonder what or who do the others think I am. I never even thought to ask that question. I need my therapist..

I can't focus at all🤔

@WorkingitThrough2 It might just be how she sees you at the moment. In a way you are a parental figure. You love and care about her and would protect her as you would any child. But the answer to you question is no. You could explain to her that you're not but that you love her as much as if you were but I would talk with your therapist first and see what her thoughts are. Because like you said you don't want to hurt her or upset her but you don't want to lie to her either. It's times like this when it all feels so complicated ❤️

I have been noticing more triggers are occurring, and I know why, but I can't do anything about them.

I am triggering myself. The very thing that I loved in my childhood by my abusers, is now my reality.

as I age, I am beginning to see my veins bulging up from my skin. I guess this is the process of aging.

So now what? All or most of them have passed on but here I am still struggling to heal. Years and years with their baggage😒

Soul, thanks for checking. I don't know how I am. I think something is going on Physically.. I have been to the doctor, but I got a lot of weird things going on. I am sleep-deprived, anxious, unstable at times. Losing days of time lapses. Lack of desire to focus on anything. Can't stay focused.

Maybe a phase or maybe it will pass. So I don't know😟

@WorkingitThrough2 *offers safe hugs* It can be hard to know how to answer that question with so much going on in the back ground. I'm sorry all that's happening - I know it can be hard

You've been under a lot of stress the past month - with family - the holidays and your husband's health. Maybe that could be contributing? Someone inside could be having trouble or a hard time with something. I know you had a pretty good moment with Precious. Have you talked with her about what she asked you? Maybe she feels unsure - unsettled? Or if you haven't talked to her about it yet - maybe Jamie is concerned about her knowing? 
The time loss is so hard to deal with sometimes. And the focus oh boy - it's a wonder I get anything done most days. Is there something that you find calming? Maybe coloring or drawing? I hope things settle for you and you get can some rest - not getting sleep makes everything feel so much worse 😞

And then to have problems with the Internet which is your window to the world. Is the company getting anywhere with the virus? All this has got to be beyond frustrating ❤️ You'll definitely be in my thoughts and I'm sending you good vibes and hope that things get figured out soon ❤️❤️
