I don't think you're messed up at all; I think you expressed it perfectly. So if you're messed up, I certainly am too.
I know exactly what you mean about being a victim. I think that's what underlies my problems. It's a coping mechanism that worked when we were young, and I don't think it was "irrational," I think it was all that we had and we coped pretty darn well or wouldn't be here.
But for me, the coping doesn't work anymore and I'm kind of left in this limbo that is hurtful and destructive.
But I don't want to be that way anymore! It takes way too much energy, and I have much better, more interesting things to focus on, which I do, but this still pops up in my every day life.
My T says our minds protect us, and don't let us know things from our unconscious until we are able to handle them. You can't push it. But here I am, trying to push it because I'm sick of it.
You are the best Poet. How's the poetry coming?
