Does anyone ever find that they feel a lot younger than they really are? I looked in the mirror recently and I looked so much more grown-up and put together than I felt then. And sometimes it feels like I can put on a grown-up face to the world and handle all my responsibilities, but it feels like an empty shell, and there's this little kid that's just watching me go through the motions. But no one outside can ever seem to tell.
My T and I talked about this a little bit once or twice, he says that it's actually really common in people who have suffered trauma to feel young sometimes (for me, it's more when I feel sad -- and I'm pretty young anyway, I'm in college).
And I guess I'm just feeling kind of like a little kid tonight. I just want some comfort. I've been hugging my stuffed animal all night.
