I am dead inside. I think the effort of trying to control my emotions has reached the point that I no longer feel. The last thing I remember feeling was intense shame. I am always doing something wrong and always creating anger and dissention in others. So I don't feel anymore. The only sensation I am really aware of is the slight pain on the tip of my tongue from where I run my tongue over the side of my teeth. I try not to do it, but I must be doing while I am asleep. Actually, it is rather a comfort, I suppose. Like the feeling I get when my arms are all scabbed over from scratching. I know that I am still here because I hurt some times. What happens when the pain isn't there anymore?

I'm very sorry I didn't read your blog sooner. I tend to manifest my anger/shame at myself by picking and biting on the skin around my nails. I also pick the scabs left from the scratch marks my son put on me. sigh
You know, I'm sure there will be a time when neither of us has pain... we just won't notice
