Dark Thoughts

A friend has been in distress. overwhelmed by the darkness. i understand the darkness and earlier this month I had told my therapist that Ihad experienced dark thoughts Do you want to see a psychiatrist? Psychiatrist are doctors. They prescribed drugs to deal with mental illness. I hadnt seen one since admission to the hospital for cancer four years ago. I was troubled by the recurring dark thoughts of hopelessness and agreed to meet one. A Zoom call, if I recall correctly. We spoke for an hour. we coveredall the bases. Thoughts of hurting myself. Thought if hurting othersI understand. I have weathered the storms of the last years. Recreating this me from the ashes of the previous mes knowing I'm not not and never will be a me to satisfy the others. That's okay. The Mes and me know how to deal with that now.
