Station Breakthrough
FIRST COMES THE PAIN - THE ISOLATION - AND THE DESPAIR
When the pain overwhelms us, and we find ourselves without help, support or refuge, our human reaction is to crawl into a dark space and nurse our wounds. Feeling isolated while suffering from pain is like being tossed over a bank into a raging river by somebody you love. When your body is under attack, and even your physician helplessly wrings his hands in impotent despair, scribbling out a bunch of prescriptions in the hope that you may be one of the lucky ones who respond, you then begin to realize that
YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.
Nobody can feel the pain. Nobody can feel the loss of self. And nobody can understand the frustration, the fear and the overwhelming grief we all feel when we are first faced with an illness that causes relentless ongoing pain, day after day after day.
AT FIRST YOU TRY TO SWIM AGAINST THE UNRELENTING CURRENT, CONVINCED THAT YOU CAN OVERCOME THIS DREADFUL DISEASE. WHEN YOUR STRENGTH FAILS AND YOUR TORMENTED BODY YIELDS TO THE UNDERTOW WHICH BRINGS YOU INTO THE ABYSS OF BLACK DESPAIR, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHERE TO GO.
Your family, at first horrified and scared, tries to help and understand. But as the days roll into months, and the months form into solid years, gradually, ever so slightly, the sympathy dies a little, the help comes a little more reluctantly and the listening sympathetic ear is partially closed. It is then that we understand that WE ARE ALONE.

to sweep out the dark closets in your mind
Relentlessly examine every object and feeling you find
Deal with it and TRASH IT

and to carrying on with bravery and determination
you WILL UNDERSTAND
that you are truly on the road to wellness
