I wanted to thank those of you who continues to support me during my block especially since my therapy has been so hard lately. It probably has saved my life, all I wanted was somebody to help me, I was feeling so down and hopeless.
I also learned an important thing about friendship in therapy last week. It has to do with boundaries and letting go of toxic relationships or those that do not reciprocate my friendship. I am seeing people who want to have my friendship, I will know because of their actions or words. I am a giver in relationships, I will do almost anything for anyone to help them, but I need to have relationships that will reciprocate the caring and love when I need it. For me the giving is usually one sided and that really hurts when I am really needing some support and don't have anyone to turn to except my T. I guess my T thinks it is great I am so caring and giving, but I need to adjust my boundaries of those who are only taking advantage of my good will. So another life lesson I have learned. I guess one can "give" too much.
