Hello,
I recently started therapy. At my last appt. my T asked me about what I used to enjoy. Hmm. Years ago I was the family photographer. I have a big family. I told her about a large ceramic plate I kept on a table in my living room. It held a large number of ever revolving pictures of family members. Most family gatherings/holidays were spent at my house, it was the largest. So everyone would go to the dish to see recent and/or favorite pictures of themselves.
I lost it. The sudden image of who I used to be completely overwhelmed me, caught me by complete surprise. I was choking I was crying so hard. I was embarrassed. I NEVER cry. It scares me what's lurking so close to the surface. I have the feeling things in therapy are going to get much worse before they get better. I'm scared. My stomach is tightening just typing this.
Maybe no one will see this but it would be really cool if this board became active again.
