Re:
We all have, sam. Numbness is just a temporary bandaid, to cover and protect. We have to do our own healing

Re: Whisperer4U
We've all done that, Bill. But, what happens when the numbness starts wearing off, and you start tingling, and feeling again?

Re:
True, lionreign. While numbness does have it's benefits, eventually it does wear off, and we have to feel again

Re: Tonight i have blocked out painful memories and uncaring from the past
Been there, and shut that door, too. Now, it's time to let the healing light shine in. If we stay locked inside and numb, we won't be able to feel living. And, for me, Kabu, I want to feel, and writing has been one great RX for my healing

Re:
We all have doors that we would rather not open, and keep closed. This came from my personal experience...but, all I know now, is that if we only feel numbness, we can't really feel living

Re:
Yes, UtahJay, we do seem to push the blame onto someone else, to take some of that pain away, and make us feel better

"Feelings
Suppressed
Closing
Pain's
Door"
Oh I so identified with that poem and most especially suppressing my feelings about all my kids so I can shut that 'Pain Door' as well.

Ah, but then they return with even more depth and we blame our mothers for what was our doings so we can feel better again...a long comment for so few words, but you did touch me.
