A Word from my Therapist
Long story short I’m in a hole like I’ve never been in. Oh I’ve been in some holes but never quite like this. This hole is so deep in fact that for the first time in my life I’m trying to face it differently, trying to overcome whatever it is that keeps putting me back in holes (even if they’ve not been this deep before). Therapy is teaching me a lot and helping me a lot but that doesn’t mean I’m better. It doesn’t mean I don’t still need help.
Turns out I’m not very good at asking for helping or saying really what it is I want from people. So my therapist has given me a note to share with loved ones who have my best interest at heart. Here we go:
1. I am feeling some things that are very difficult; really negative things about myself.
- I may cry & I may cry a lot.
2. I am trying not to handle these feelings in my typical way which is to suck it up and put on a good face.
- That behavior is not good for me
3. What would help would be a hug, just sitting together, spending time together, etc. and telling me you love me. I won’t believe you if you tell me I’m good enough but I will believe you if you tell me you love me anyway.
