I am thinking the only way to deal with my current situation is to practice detachment. I no longer want to involve my emotions with my job or my relationship. I'm just going to have to send my mind somewhere else. That must be how other people cope. Or maybe they take drugs and drink a lot. I wouldn't know.
So meet the new zombie version of myself.
purple: this doesn't sound so good as a long term approach. do you want to talk about specifically why you're feeling that way? is it a self-protection thing?
purple, I know the idea of cutting yourself off to protect yourself from further pain is tempting, and it seems like a workable solution. I know, because I am fighting like hell to break down the walls I've built around myself. Believe me, you're just trading one kind of pain for another.
