Terribly difficult week.

I think I finally butted up against some stuff in my head that I had appropriately buried for a few months. Not sure how to work through it, though.

Hard to be there for someone who is going through something you can't even imagine. Feel pretty impotent and ineffective.

That is all.

Sorry your week has been difficult. Repressed memories (not sure if that's what's going on with you or not) can be terribly difficult to deal with. I've been working through some similar stuff with a therapist, which I've found to be really awesome. However, if you don't have a therapist/are uncomfortable with one/can't afford one, you could always look at some self-help/self-guidance books. Reading about others who have had similar lived experiences or dissect my own experiences have been really helpful.

Also, your friends are always here!

As for being there for someone -- I know what it's like to feel ineffective. But the most you can do is offer support and guidance and an open door, right?
