> mmm.... I think about it, and then I imagine telling my T about it, and he's telling me that the thoughts don't make sense, but with a lot of warmth

Glad to hear he says it with warmth! I don't think I'd take too kindly to hearing that my thoughts don't make sense :)

Those are fantastic quotes, Sid. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes I wish the noise and the haste didn't feel so centralized in my head. But I was able to get away this past weekend with a group of friends, and we all noticed how quiet it was - no traffic, sirens, kids, families. So nice.

> try to keep from sinking... I have these dreams where there is a tidal wave coming, and it is just above my head, and the waves are like 20 feet high, and I am always thinking "how the hell am I going to get of here?"
> it's scary, you have to find a way to say it verbally or to express it, in art in writing, somehow, and you've got to share it with your T

That sounds terrifying. It makes me wonder about dreams and depression. I keep having dreams that people I don't know (and sometimes people I know) are trying to kill me. Thanks for the reminder about other ways to express what's going on. Sometimes I get so caught up in feeling like I need to find *just* the right words, otherwise it won't make any sense. In the end I'm just verbally paralyzed.

> wow, I wish I could go running again, truth be told I was addicted to it once upon a time- this is a crazy thought as I sit here on this couch

To be fair, I haven't run in the past month :) And I know I need to get going again, but the motivation, meh. And the days are getting shorter. Grrr...

Thanks for your support, Sid. It means a lot.
