So, as an experiment, this writing in LJ is proving to me that I can share personal processing information without self-destructing. But it's stressful. Like talking into a living void. There are three bits of response. Two women friends who I know have reason to relate, and one new male friend who thinks it's a good idea that I try drugs and work

I don't if I was hoping for engagement. However, the silence is meaningful. If I keep doing this, I've wondered, will other people who are engaged in similar work find me? And comment. Or is it just the wrong use of the space?

I think that it is difficult to know what to say, honestly. It seems as though you are talking through something rather than to us, and while I really appreciate and admire your dignity and honesty, I'm inclined just not to respond. If I heard someone talking about stuff like this face to face, I'd be inclined to just let them talk. Think of it as a warm silence, I believe.

Thanks. I thought that silence had some warmth in it.
