There are some days when I would say a huge AMEN to that!
Mr. Edd, I was forced to smile when I read your post. What great honesty. How often have I thought that same thing. My inner amnesiac will be someone I think about often after this. I may call on him from time to time when I need a break.
But I know you wouldn't say that if you weren't really hurting. I'm so sorry that you hurt. We're men and it's so easy to say "hurt" without really feeling the depth of what I know you feel. This was a very short post, but a very clear and incisive one. I care...me...personally, care that you are hurting.
The fact that you are there and hurting just like I am and wanting it all to stop, but willing to go on in spite of it all is an important part of what gives me the courage to stick with it.
Even those who know us and know what we're going through can't begin to know what we feel and the depth of the anguish that goes along with this thing. It's impossible to put into words.
I care about how much you're hurting. So many of us do. I hope that helps. Bobby

Above, I posted a one-line reply to your post to show my agreement with what you're talking about. Afterwards, it struck me as kind of flippant, and flippant isn't really what folks here are looking for.
Yes, there are days when I would love for all this to just go away, because I'm tired of it too. But that never happens. It goes away for a short time, then returns, sometimes with a vengeance. I wish it didn't. It has to be dealt with. My desire for healing has already been rewarded with some progress over time. More progress is yet to come soon, I hope. Yes it's awful to deal with painful stuff, but I hope the desire to overcome this painful crap will outweigh the desire to avoid it. Once I realized some progress, I never wanted to go back. And I hope so much for you to progress in healing and wish nothing but the best for you as you move forward.
