"The pain inside you went unheard. Maybe that's how the stalking started.... it was unresolved with you"
I believe its been the root cause of small but fairly eruptive anger spots.
"You'll always care for her.....but I promise you it will shift and you'll feel rested."
I'm there already and it bothers me to know I'll always have those feelings for her. It means I wont ever get over stalking, just learning to cope with it. Coping isn't enough when it comes down to things like this, because all it takes is one moment for those old ways to get worked up and all the time recovering was wasted. I mean if I go into a long term relationship those feelings will override what I have for the relationship. It's done so in the past.
It's clear this isn't fading anytime soon, I don't know what I'm doing now besides avoiding her. Strengthening my hold over the compulsions. It's a bit of a gloom when you know it may take a couple years but you'll revert. It's going to be one of the darkest times in my life, watching myself slowly revert after all this effort going into resisting. It'll be quite the challenge.
I can't lie though, a part of me looks forward too it.
