I think sometimes the lines are pretty fuzzy between article and blog. Perhaps blog would tend to be more personal, "I was thinking today..." and articles less so "Things are this way

There's a lot I've forgotten, but there are some things that are burned into my memories. I still remember that very night. I remember feeling the stress in the air, unaware of what it was exactly, at my age. I look back, and I remember the effects of that evening over the years. I knew how stressed you were, but didn't know what to do, if I could have done anything at all.
And I know you still ache. Some may begrudge you relief, but I never will.
I am blessed by relatively stable emotions, although every now and then something will trigger them. It's rare, but it happens. I don't even know or remember what I do about it at those times, I think they just pass eventually. Maybe after a day or two. And it's a good thing. I don't think I'd have made it this far otherwise. Heck, if it wasn't for Father's grace keeping me going during those times, I'd probably be in a padded room somewhere.
Speaking of relief, I'll be going to take one for my head now..
...mind if I take some relief...?

It doesn't matter if anyone minds. No one else knows what is best for you. Moreover, you are more important than the rules someone may conjure up: take this, never take that. You are a son of Almighty God. Who cares what the rest of the world thinks? Ask your Father; do what He says; lean on Him. He will steer you through the rough waters.
Call on a friend to listen, when you need it. You have many friends who care. Probably, they are all praying for you.
Wow, you've never shared this with me before. I hate that you have had to live with this. I totally understand people begrudging another for wanting relief from pain. You know where I've walked and am walking. Others do not, and say things like, stand on the Word, believe and stay strong....things such as this. I truly believe that they just don't know how to respond so they say these things. They do not understand the "more" hurt that they cause or could cause.
Know I don't know exactly where you are because noone knows this but you. What I can say is I am here as much as I can be. If you need to talk call me or email me or something, but I am praying for you.I always am.
Slap me for my stupidity...

Dang, I reread this and wanted to slap myself...of course you know I meant "no" when I typed "know" but anyway. I hope you are doing better. I pray you have a wonderful day!
