Carry on Castle Quotes

“As with all new doctors, there were a thousand forms to fill out, with the dreaded single, married, or other boxes to check. Sometimes they have a “widowed” box, but this form didn't. I checked “other” and wrote over the top of it “widowed”. There were several questions pertaining to why I felt I needed a psychological appointment, such as: Why did you make this appointment? My husband died. What contributed to this issue? My husband died. Why do you think you have this issue? My husband died. When did you first experience this issue? When my husband died. Next, it wanted to know if I was in a committed relationship. I checked the “yes” box and then wrote next to it, “but he's dead.” I should have been able to scrawl over the first page with a giant Sharpie “MY HUSBAND DIED!” and that should have been a sufficient answer for all questions.”

“Hold your hand about six inches from your face and spread your fingers out. You can see all around you, but you have this giant hand blocking most of your view. The hand is the PTSD and the images of that night, and they blocked my view of the rest of the world.”

“If you are going to do therapy properly, where you actually talk about what is bothering you, and you are willing to explore that with your therapist, it is going to be harsh and it is going to get deep. It is emotional exhaustion like you have never known. I cry more often than not in therapy, and when I don't, I brag to my friends. “Hey, I went to therapy today and didn't cry! Go me!” They are very proud.”

“If you think I should not be angry with God, then your God is too small. He is bigger than that.”
