Dear Parents,
You said that you wanted me to talk to you about it and not bottle up the feelings, but the truth is that I have no feelings to tell, and even if I did I couldn't talk about them.
Is no-feeling a feeling?
I cried, and now I'm coping. I don't want to feel it because I know if I do, I'll despair, and I'd rather not do that.
No-feeling is also a coping mechanism for trauma.
My life has sort of been turned upside-down, and I'd like to figure it out now, but at the same time I'm clinging to the old life we had. The life of smiles and not-worrying because there was nothing to worry about, and laughing, and insane car trips that lasted for days.
We still have that but now it's tainted and I truly think that's what I'm most trying to cope with. Not the shock of the Thing, not the pain of potential loss but the loss of times that I loved.
I don't think I can deal with that.
