WHY me WHY now WHY?

Have you every wondered why me,why now,why?
Today I am asking the Why question with a huge sigh.
I am not laughing today you see I feel so sad,
So unusual as I usually know how to be glad.

Let me share my story
It's been over two weeks now since I had felt well or had slept properly. It all began after a visit to the beach. After eating breakfast and thinking what am I going to do with today I decided to go to one of my favourite places at Papamoa. I am a naturist and the beach there is wonderful. I packed my picnic as usual, tuna, salad and fresh fruit a Kiwi fruit this time. I made up a flash of my decaffinated coffee and task completed, I was ready to go. On reflection I didn't feel my best that morning I was tired. My M.E. ( a condition I have had for over twenty years ) was probably telling me to rest and I ignored it. I thought come on Sue let's go on an adventure. I know I was feeling quiet lonely and that's why I pushed myself to go out although deep down I was undecided wether I would actually get to the beach. I had a few shops to go to first and thought I would make my final decision after these jobs were completed. My shopping done I approached the crossroads. It passed through my mind to go home and rest  and I brushed that aside. Then I thought how about going to see a friend and at the last minute I went straight on as the lights changed to green. So the beach it was. 
It was a very windy day and parking the car I decided no sun unreleased today as I knew the wind was too strong. I took my new beach blanket which I had just bought. It had a waterproof bottom and lovely coloured towelling on the top. This was to keep the sand from me as I sunbathed. I took my picnic bag and locking the car walked up the boardwalk to the sea. What a fantastic sight the sea was and hardly a soul in sight. I soon settled just by the sandunes which sheltered me from the wind. I could still see the sea and the waves which were really big, were breaking and creating white tips as they rolled away and then a calm was restored until the next one came. I was soon lying down on my cover and it was heaven feeling the sun kissing my body. I took a few deep breaths and floated away into that special place where nothing mattered, I was so content.
A little while later something made me stir, I sat up and looked around. A man was watching me. I reallyfelt very unnerved and lay down again, pretending to go to sleep. I watched the man through as he walked along the beach and then turn round and come back behind where I was lying. I was scared. I knew 🐝he was up to no good and so I moved my things and sat on the beach thankful to see a few other naturists about. I walked down to the sea and had a swim. I felt like I needed to clean myself, odd very odd indeed. Anyway after a few minutes I decided I wanted to go home. I was really upset inside. It brought back memories of when I was a child and a man had tried to make me go with him. I started itching. I went to my clothes got my towel and dried myself. After getting dressed I collected my things together and went back to my car. I was so relieved to be going home. 
At home I had my dinner and after only an hour I went to bed. It was very early. I woke at ten o'clock itching all over. I have been itching ever since. 

Conclusion
I have been to the doctors four times, been seen by  three different doctors. I have been told it's an allergy of some kind. They will never know and so I have had Creams, three types of tablets and bathing lotions have been used. I am now on antibiotics for spots that have been infected by my scratching. I am so low. The itching continues as I try and get some sleep only to be woken up with the itching.
I believe although I have no evidence to prove this, that the allergic reaction and the weeks of misery I have suffered was a direct result of reliving the emotions I had keep buried. The reaction triggered to the unresolved emotional trauma I experienced as a child has been awful. I believe the incident at the beach triggered off a deep fear which I have carried with me. 
I have spent the last two weeks grieving the loss of so much of my childhood. I was robbed of my innocence in my childhood years. By realising this and releasing all of the pent up emotions including and especially my fear, anger and guilt I feel a relief. I believe these  negative emotionals which I have had without knowing for so many decades were causing me untold pain. I am finally going to put them to rest. 
I am still not right although it is beginning to settle. There are some very deep scars that are still weeping. I am now accepting and loving myself through this very painful journey both physically and phycologically. I am healing myself with love. 
I am free to enjoy the moment free from past irrational fears and guilt. As an adult I can take care of my very neglected inner child's needs. My attitude to life is changed forever. I choose love.

🌹YOUR STRUGGLE WITH LOVE 🌹

🌹I see the struggle within you, The struggle to find the real you. The anger, the jealousy, from your ego full of fear, Disconnecting from a love that is always so clear. It's unconditional love that you need to free you, From the path of self sabotage that leaves you so blue. From my heart to your heart connect from within, Then the path to true enlightenment with self will begin🌹 words by Sue Gaskell-Barlow  on 14/04/2017
