Dearest Llurpsienoodle, I'm sorry that you're not doing so well. Me neither, though I'm still putting that one foot in front of the other. Lucky me hasn't tripped yet :-)

I hope that you don't rely completely on having your T read your face in order to see how well or not you are doing - I spent a lot of time today with my therapist talking about how I abruptly realized the other day that I could use a four letter word to describe how I felt about myself - hate - and how much that frightened me, that I could feel so very strongly about myself. It was a galvanizing moment in therapy, and I'm glad I didn't leave it up to the mutely miserable expression on my face to be read, but choked the words out of myself. Cathartic.

I also realized then that I was struggling finding the right words to give others support here - and was encouraged by my T to not try to find those "right" ones, but just to offer the ones that I have. I hear you - I am sorry you are struggling. I don't think we can do all this hard work all by ourselves.
