Courage

Each day I feel like the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz (sometimes like the Scarecrow too ” If I only had a brain”) I need the courage to get up, get dressed and leave the house and face people. I have to battle this every day. It is HARD and exhausting. Even facing my family is difficult. I feel like I am an exposed wound and sensitive to everything around me. It’s like I have completely lost my bearings and I never know quite how to behave/react.

I constantly feel like I want to be alone but that doesn’t bring me happiness at the same time I want company from my friends too. It is like being imprisoned in a whirlwind of emotion ALL the time and the whirlwind slows down but it NEVER stops.
