Dear SlugDoo,
You are a very accomplished woman with big goals for your life and the determination to survive and thrive despite challenges.You are ready for the next big step in your life, and you know that you need your T to be there for you as you take it.
It's scary to have the poison. It's scary to know that it affects your everyday life. It's scary to wonder "will it ever end". But behind the fear is a kind of courage that you WILL get through this. You've been here before, and you'll be here again, but each time it will become less painful. Less devastating. Less incomprehensible.
You are very brave and thoughtful to have these words to share with your T. I hope that you are able to give them to him, or share the big points. They will be important to the kind of treatment that you receive. You need all kinds of support as you process the "poison". Digest it. Metabolize it. Void it.
I know you're strong enough to survive and thrive. This is another one of those challenges. Though it feels foreign and scary, I'm confident that you'll meet it with the grit and determination that comes so easily to you.
Remember that you have to be extra, extra kind to yourself. You need something soothing, distracting, comforting. Something to give your mind a brief respite from digesting poison.
Flowers for you, Doo,
hugs too,
-Ll
