Comments on: Another Wedding Day! http://sashaisamonster.com/2009/08/another-wedding-day/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 13:56:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Jo http://sashaisamonster.com/2009/08/another-wedding-day/comment-page-1/#comment-6472 Jo Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:32:36 +0000 http://sashaisamonster.com/?p=2274#comment-6472 I was also at a wedding this weekend... in Chicago and as small as this world is - Carmen was also there. We caught up and talked about how amazing everyone is doing. We were reminiscing of those early NG times. It is hard to believe that was about 7 years ago when we all first met! Definitely would love to see pics from the wedding. P.S. *hugs* for the tough time of you and your friend. It is always difficult when you want to be there for someone who isn't ready to accept the help. But, I think the best you can do is continue to stay close and be ready for the point when he realizes you're there to help him.

Just because he is not jumping into action at the moment, doesn't mean he won't ever. The fact that he is reaching out to you and whomever is a good sign. Being alone with our shit makes it rougher. At least he is sharing what's going on with him. Remember you can't FIX him or anyone. Boundaries are a good thing. There is so much abuse and wackos in the mental health field. It can be scary. I've done some therapy and it just seems like there are "therapists" that are just emotional perverts and control freaks, rather than folks who genuinely want to help. About the marriage thing Sasha, I hope you'll give yourself a break....you are still very young. Guys can sniff that desperation, ya know! What's the big rush?? So much changed for me when I hit my 30s. Easy up a bit. Enjoy the moment....20s are for being a goof. Peace to you and your bud struggling. P.S. Ever thought about doing a memoir about your journey with your struggles? I recently read this poor guy's memoir, "My Lobotomy", about his experience being the first teenager in the 50s to have a lobotomy by the crazy doc who brought the procedure to the U.S. It's not "before-you-go-sleep reading" but really good. Don't stop your personal blogging....me likey reading it. And I'd buy your memoir!! :D It’s so great you are being there for your friend.
