> I know that feeling all too well and still fight it all the time.
I wonder if everybody gets that feeling. If it is the same feeling for all of us. Or if different people get different feelings. Different pathologies or whatever. Deep down... Past all the defenses... Whatever it is that we defending against. That. I wonder if it is the same for all of us.
It isn't the feeling of death - is it? I used to think it would be nice to be buried. Then over time one would be dispersed. Into parts of a tree and so on. But now... I don't know.
Plastination for the win?
Being all scraped by little hands in China?
> I think, on the whole, it is better to talk it out and try to learn to cope than it is to repress it and deny it by yourself. If you try to repress it, it just rises up at some point and you find you have no coping skills to handle the pain.
Maybe... Maybe that is true.
I did a little reading. Turns out psychology / psychotherapy has progressed in my absense much as my field in philosophy has / did. That is a good thing. Anyway... I found something on activation of the attachment system. That is it. That is why I function best... Without relationships. Without the activation of the attachment system. Activating it is... A bad idea.
I guess the thing to do is for me to be honest with her next week about how I felt after the meeting. I maybe won't say about the overpass... But that feeling... I guess it is about bringing some of those DBT skills back online... Learning the ability to focus. Doing work despite just wanting to curl up and rock rock rock rock rock the pain away. Can I? I don't know. It was a fairly endless battle in Aussie, too... I.. Well... I don't know that I ever did manage to work appropriately.
Whatever is to be done?
