I have what I call the "Other Lucy" who interacts with the world when it is too scary for the real Lucy to do so. I can only be genuine with a very small group of people, primarily my husband, my children, and my T. I like being genuine, though, since I can relax and just live without all the effort of keeping the other Lucy going. I have very few feelings when the other Lucy is active, either good or bad feelings. After I am done with her I often get very depressed, sort of rebound from her. I would like to not need her anymore and just be the authentic Lucy all the time. I'm working toward that as one of my goals of therapy. Dinah, are you the authentic you here? If you are I like you very much.
