Its been about 3 1/2 months since i posted here and well here i am. Its May and it should be Sammie's 17th birthday coming up. I feel myself shrinking back into my shell. Outwardly I'm doing a great job of acting the part of doing ok, inwardly I'm a mess. There's what feels like 5000 thoughts in my head every second and i cant focus on any of them. Inside i feel like I'm shaking and cant relax, i sleep but i dont rest. Dont think i can open up to my wife because theresa lot on her/our plate. One of her twins drowned their car in last weeks storms and its totaled but the payment is short of the payoff and of course they need a car but its not in the finances. Last time i traded out of my car to get them this one and that didnt last a year. The female twin i fear is approaching Sammie level depression. Seems like nothing makes her happy. Im happy at work i guess but also feel anxiety because i feel like i dont totally belong. I feel like im there because they know I'm dependable and reliable. In 4 years there aside from Sammie's death, I've never missed a day sick, hell I've never even been late for work. Maybe its because I'm at least 10 years older than everyone else there but i just feel awkward there as much as i try to fit in. I've had some very weird, very vivid dreams ... none of them pleasant. I'm fighting but there are times I'm tired of fighting. I cant end life myself but i wish sometimes someone would end it for me if that makes sense. But i am still kicking right now.
