Not good enough. Not good enough. Not good enough. So when do you just accept it? (I'm stubborn, I don't easily)

Your empathy, from all of you, is very comforting.
As I said Mishka, it is a very hard choice for you, and that's natural. Is he so important that you will sacrifice your peace of mind for him? The flip side is, are you going do something to help yourself? Doing something to prevent long-term damage to yourself is not selfish. But, no one here can make a decision about that. Why are you so sensitive? because it hurts....it's something important. You're not abnormal to hurt. I think it's safe to say that anyone here would be glad to lend you an ear if you ever need to talk.

Thinking good things about you,
