It’s amazing the power of frustration, denial, anger, sadness, fear….they can all make a person forget themselves for a time, short or long, doesn’t really matter, as long as they can escape themselves for that amount of time….

Of course the problem is when that detachment leaves you at a place where you picture yourself driving over a bridge or in front of a moving semi and not regretting that you had the thought…not sure if you would regret it if you did it….

Feeling detached is sometimes your only defense against your emotions….when you can’t control them you have to remove yourself from them since most people can’t remove their emotions.  I guess it’s mind over matter …… but sometimes you can’t or aren’t ready to process through all of the emotions flooding your being, so instead of trying you simply detach yourself.
