When the most sensitive parts of you are broken, you have to change, as nothing exists.
This what I felt when it first hit me.

You cannot change what you refuse to confront. Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together or be rebuilt in a better way. I know it will sound a bit cheesy but it is not about nothing existing but what we make with the parts that fell apart. When we work out a muscle it grows stronger by rebuilding the torn muscle fibers. You do not grow a new muscle you make a broken one better.

I think when the most sensitive parts of us are broken, we bleed. In the beginning its gushing, a large gapping wound out of control. We feel that if we don't find a way to control the bleeding we're going to bleed to death emotionally and there will be nothing left. Nothing left for us to give to someone else, much less something left to hold on to ourselves. We have to reach for those small shreds that are left, bind them back together and pull ourselves up. It's not for ourselves that we do this, it's for the ones we love.

Nicely said, kind of like Hemingway who said when you are broken, look for the light.

Very well said CPT (Join to see). Our wounds may not be visible to the outside world but they run deep. PTSD is a bleeding wound that never heals. It's with me every single day and I have to constantly be on guard, taking extra effort to hold myself together.
I find that I do better in a structured environment rather then working by myself. But it's different for everybody.
