Thank you so much, B2--I like all the suggestions. Exercise has often been a mode of self-punishment for me, so I need to figure out a more relaxing way to approach it.
I guess I didn't act before because I didn't understand what was happening. I just started feeling bored in a lot of situations and relationships where I hadn't experienced it before. I thought I was just moving to a new stage in my life. Which I might be, still, I don't know.
My therapist thinks that this is the way I've felt underneath all along (I guess she means in the few years we've been working together) and that I'm just now feeling safe enough--in therapy and in life--to let it come out.
I dislike this interpretation, but I can see its value.
