It's beginning to feel ok. Went from once a week to twice a week and now it;s feeling ok. I didn't come home and howl yesterday like I did two weeks ago. I haven't howled since two weeks ago in fact.
He is pushing me toward the door, pushing gently but persistently. I am holding on tooth and nail.
So most of the time I feel good, really so much better than I did six years ago. I feel like a decent human most of the time, I feel almost capable, almost intelligent, almost ... acceptable. Hopefully time will make it all realer.
But here's a question for you all:
yikes
I wrote that and the question went right out of my head, which means it was very close to home and I can't deal with it. I honestly have NO IDEA what I was going to ask...
Argh. Aren't I just the poster child for mental health!
ShortE, who is going to bed now

But hey, you now know what it means that you forgot! That's sure progress. And you know it will come back. It always does.
Glad things are going better.

I can so relate to the forgetting...

I'm glad he's being flexible. And I'm really glad things are going better.
My therapist isn't exactly pushing me out of the door or even to go to once a week, I'm pushing myself more. (He's smart enough to know if he pushes, I brace my legs.)
But at this moment, I don't see that I'm as ready as I thought. I have some real life stressors right now, and while I no longer feel that if I don't see him I'll die, I do think it helps reduce the stress to an acceptable level and keep me from melting down or not functioning as well as I can.
I think I'll write some more on Social and here about what's going on mentally with me right now.
This is the end of the thread.
