My attempt was met with my classification as &#8220;shameful&#8221; and &#8220;pitiful.&#8221; Followed by this classification, I was given a dissertation from another member of this grouping. The subject of this dissertation was how evil I was. I would say that I have since severed all ties with these people, but my situation is more than that. I had put up my defenses years ago and started lowering them about 8 months ago, thinking a potential reconciliation was possible.<\/p>\n<p>I no longer think that is possible.\u00a0 For some reason, unbeknownst to me, I have completely angered this faction.\u00a0 What ever I did, dates prior to my date of confinement. Consequently, I see the last few days as a return to the status quo.<\/p>\n<p>I am no angel. That is a fact. However, am I not the only one to share blame. Frankly, I don&#8217;t know what blame there needs to be shared. They may know what started their hatred of me.\u00a0 The signatory event is lost to me. I want to reiterate, that I am no angel. But, I&#8217;m lost at what actions I could have committed that would have remanded me as ostracized. There I am, and will remain. I won&#8217;t let my guard down again.<\/p>\n<p>Three years into this disorder being critical and we have limited answers.\u00a0 My daily routine includes about 2 hours during which time my pain level is below 7\/10. I don&#8217;t have time to play. I have come to accept and understand continued intense and extensive pain. It milks your mind and your soul. If I seem that I regard myself &#8220;Godly&#8221; it is because I have surrendered myself to my Savior. There can be no other way. It definitely doesn&#8217;t mean I am sinless. It means I am sinful and looking for forgiveness from the only One that can grant it. I seek solace in His cloak.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know what I am doing, nor do I know where I am going.\u00a0 But He walks with me when it is dark, and light. For me, it is easier to see Him when it is dark. When it is light, I try to recognize His gifts in the birds, insects and flora He has granted me access to. He gives me peace.<\/p>\n<p>No, I am a sinner, and I need His light in my life, always.<\/p>\n<p>In His Name,<\/p>\n<p>Jay C.
