Hi,
First of all.... I have to agree with you. SELF DECEPTION IS THE BEST. :-) Saved me, a lot.Wow... I never really came to this board(always just psycho babble) until you mentioned it in your last post to me. Perfect! And I guess I'm not alone. (For anyone else listening.. quick run down.... I have "repressed" close to 13 years of my childhood and am toying with the idea of hypnotherapy to bring it back.) I mean.. these posts where "me".
By the way... You sound like an incredible strong, helpful and very UNSELFISH person, and it sounds like your coping very well.
I thought your first line of the last post was so funny... about assuming it's not safe to say anything around here without being attacked(not verbatum)... that's why I just sat back and watched and never participated. :-) It seems to have calmed down some.
Can I be so naive to ask you what Dysthymia is?
Wow.. its amazing that these things come out for you in your therapy sessions. I mean, I have a great therapist who's has helped me tremendously... but never seemed to bring that much "out" of me. It is so incredible to me that our brain has the capability to even repress in the first place. Sometimes I think .. well, it's obviously for a reason... that's why I get so scared to mess with it.... but there is that part of me that wants to know what happened. Especially if it can eventually lead to a "healthier" me.
You mentioned not being sure where to go with your new found revelation. Are you glad these things are coming up? Are would you rather they never did? Asking cuz that's what frightens me so much about the whole thing.
I guess this is getting kind of long here(sorry). But.. I'm glad I popped over.. I found out a little more about you and how much you really do understand what I'm going thru. And others as well. I would love for you to keep in touch with me, let me know how everything is and what else "pops" up. And I will definately let you know what I decide to do!! Thanks again for you caring, helpful responses. Take care, Kristi
