(As if diabetes and cancer weren't enough, huh?) I'm not the expert here at all, but with more of a background as a sociologist, I tend to look at environmental factors first. <BR/><BR/>Either way, looking at my ex's family, and their mental health issues (those diagnosed and those not yet), it certainly makes an argument for why they would also have co-dependency issues (and they do...my ex and his youngest brother chief amongst them). Anything to ease that pain. Quiet those voices.

How it seems easier to crawl inside something that eases the noise in your head than facing the pain. Of a chronic health condition, a mental illness, of a path that doesn't seem to be the one you once chose, basically of life. But this is awesome writing.Laurie Borishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08361627047571650547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18829500.post-1138974629320252952006-02-03T08:50:00.000-05:002006-02-03T08:50:00.000-05:00Excellent post, Sweetie.
