> I suppose what my therapist is saying is that yes, we have to nip it in the bud before it blooms uncontrollably. But that I need to do it by enduring the pain of doing what must be done instead of by distracting in unhealthy ways.
**That sound good...
I dunno if this has got to do with anything.
But when I used to Sinjure alot, it was to do with emotions building and building and building up. Until it got to the point where SI was inevitable, cuz I HAD to do something or they would just keep comming back abd getting worse.
Now....I'm not sure...I still struggle with bad feelings, but I'm not sure yet...hmmm...but anyhow, that 'inevitable' thing seems to be less of an issue somehow. I CAN bear the feelings, and I CAN go onward and function. Thats one of the things my T said in her message, that you just goto keep going....
I guess I MUST do more self soothing stuff, like be around people even when I don't want to be. Like just walking away and taking a break when a project I am working on is starting to overwhelm me. Like being more honest with people some about how I feel, insteada just sayinh 'I'm fine'.(and I GOTTA say, people are SO nice!!! I had no idea??!!!)
So I guess I have learned more than I even realize.
So i dunno if this is unrelated drivel.
Or if I saying it right.
But this is what I was thinking.
Sounds like you doing so good work in T.
Take good care.
