OK.
I went to T.
Admitted that mebbe one of my inside kids got hurt.
See, maybe.
I DID admit it fully though.
Now I just feel profoundly depressed.
Profoundly.
This sucks.
Really, really, bad.

That can be scary to admit. Did your therapist come through for you?

It does suck, it is sad. But good for you for telling your T. Now she can help you figure this stuff out.
I'm proud of you, Muffy!

(((Muffled and her kids)))
I think this is a big thing. Lots of sadness, lots of relief.

((((((((((((((((muffleds of past and present and future)))))))))))))))))))
It's a big step muffled, but you wouldn't have taken it if part of you wasn't ready.I have NO idea if you are like me, but since I admitted hard stuff some 8 weeks ago, I have largely shut part of me off. While it was open, though, it was kind of (really) scary. Frightening. Knocked me off balance. Very disorienting.
I want you to know that you should take good care of yourself, Muffled, and please don't be shy to call your T if you need her. You know that she will be there for you. That's why you felt safe enough to do the hard thing.
I'm inspired by your courage. I think I need to trust my new T to take on some of my crap.
Imagine an older southern woman saying "Lindenblüte, I'm here to hold your crap. That's what I'm here for."
Well, if I can crap in her office, it will be a miracle. Muffled, you keep us posted on what's up with you, okay. Even if it doesn't make sense, and the weather changes every half-hour ... well, I understand. I'll be around :)
Babble's vanilla screens can hold your crap too.
love,

I'm all over.
Can't find my leftover seroquel.
Thot mebbe I'd start it again.
My T gave me the ol meds lecture.
She never tells me what to do though.
She's really an awfully clever T.
I'm supposed to somehow figger that i.kids emotions.
But I don't wanto go there.
She said that was ok.
Didn't push me at all.
She's so nice.
I usu. send her a fax telling what I got out of the session.
She phoned back tonite, but I was putting the kids to bed so I missed the call.
Yeah, I got a great T.

You do have a good T, muffled, and feeling sad is better than not feeling at all. You are making progress, and I am proud of you. Take care of you sweetie!

Wow -- huge step for you. And I'm sorry one was hurt too.
I always feel run over and really depressed when I admit something.
But still, you will feel better in a little while. Just hang in there.

Hi Muffled,
I'll send you a virtual seroquel. My pdoc gave me enough samples of the smaller doses to last you for a month.<> <> <> those are 25 mg tablets
( ) ( ) ( ) those are 50 mg tablets(000000) (0000000) those are my ugh 300mg horsepills
you DO have a great T. And Satindoll is right. Feelings are really incredible, even when they are sad feelings. I felt an emotion briefly yesterday evening. It was pretty nice to feel something after several weeks of numbness, or undifferentiated mild depression more or less.
hugs to muffled's inner crew, especially the ones that are hurting

Thanks Daisy.
How long is a little while?
I'm thinking of going onto seroquel cuz I just all over the place w/my emotions such as they are.
Yeah, it was weird.
A black, black depression just settled on me. Its easing now, but I still up and down and all over.
I hope this goes away soon.
I'm suppossed to sort of inventory her emotions, cuz thats all I got.
But I just can't.

***Yeah, numbness sucks too. But i find emotions terribly confusing. I feel like such an idiot.
