For some really lousy reason i’ve been having really bad nightmares lately and so my insomnia has kicked into high gear. And, following from that my mental state hasn’t been the greatest today. i feel very disconnected, frightened, shaky, and jumpy. i’ve had two flashbacks and my ears are ringing.
J and i talked about this, and my frustration with it. Everything in my life is going really well (well, except the work thing, which i’ll get to in a minute) and i do not want to be cracking up now and unable to enjoy it. i feel very lost and confused. The only thing i am sure of right now is that i am desperately in love with J, and i’m so incredibly lucky and thankful that i feel 100% sure again that he is desperately in love with me. This gives me the foundation to cope with the rest of this bullshit.
Due to some arcane bit of paperwork i have been dropped from J’s insurance coverage. So i cannot go to the doctor or get meds. That makes it extremely difficult to work though times like this, but i’ve done it before, and i know i can do it again, because i am much stronger now. This is just a temporary problem, and i will get through it. Its hard, but it can be done.
Perhaps my fear and discomfort is in part due to surrendering the last bit of myself to J. Tonight, i willingly let him lick my pussy. In fact i wanted him to do it. He did not cum. He didn’t use me to pleasure himself at all. It was all about me and my orgasm. i have a really really hard time with this and hate it. i usually fight and whine so bad that J gives up and leaves me in a state of sexual frustration for as long as it takes for the circumstances to work out so we can have sex again. You see, i have always been secretly very ashamed of wanting pleasure for myself. i know that is stupid and i’ve also always been ashamed of this stupid idea, and thus never admitted to anyone. But, its some deep-rooted thing and even knowing its stupid doesn’t make it go away. i am mortified by my own needs and desires. Getting off when J is using me is okay, because its about his pleasure, and it adds to his pleasure for me to cum. But, just wanting to cum on my own seems desperately wrong to me. i do sometimes masturbate, but i do that on my own and don’t ask J for anything so it doesn’t seem as bad to me. But, asking J to help me achieve orgasm without his own just disturbs me. And, the fact that it disturbs me disgusts me. *sigh* i am talking in crazy circles.
The short version is, he made me let him do it. But, then i wanted him to do it. i submitted. i gave him my pleasure. i admitted my deep dark dirty secret… that i enjoy sex and want to be pleased… not just as a byproduct of J’s pleasure, but for myself. i wish i could say that doing this exorcised this demon from me, and i will not struggle with this anymore, but that’s a lie. i will. Its still hard. i am still ashamed. But, i will work though it.
All of this and a lot of other things have led me to conclude that i am not quite ready to reenter the working world. i am going to call my rehab counselor tomorrow and ask for a few weeks to restabalize. Then we can meet and see what needs to be done. i’m not sure if i will ever go back to work full time. i’m not sure if its the best thing for me, my son, my family. But, i’m not sure its not either. So i’m going to take some time to figure it out.
This isn’t a downward spiral. Its a side trip. i am having a bit of a hard time mentally at the moment. But, i am not falling apart. i’ll get this sorted and stand strong again. It would be nice if i could ask J to come and hold me awhile until i could go to sleep, but he has to work tomorrow and he is already very tired. He doesn’t get enough sleep. So i will not be selfish and do that. i will tough it out. i might have felt better when we finished talking after our session in bed tonight, but Bkid woke up and came and ran me out of the bed before i was able to relax and make my peace with what had happened. So i went to my lonely bed, had a nightmare, and am now rambling here in a daze of sleep-deprived dribble.
Does this ever end?
