A couple of days ago

I read something written by a friend. I was embarrassed by the statements made by them...... even though they were generalisations and not directed at anyone...... I was sad for them that they felt that way.

For me it has dragged up a whole army of demons, and given them the validation back that I have spent years trying to take away. They had almost lost their power. I am so annoyed that they have returned, I am annoyed that the sweeping generalisations have made me rethink what that friend would think of me if we were to meet in person. I am devastated that old truths have power again.

I am annoyed that such sweeping statements have made me feel repulsion at myself again

It has made me tired, I am in tears, I have constant headaches and bouts of nausea because of it. For the first time in over 3 years I wished I was still a smoker........ I so very nearly bought a packet yesterday.
