I really have nothing substantial to say
BUT since I do miss psychobabble these days I will throw out some random thoughts on therapy which will not require replies ;-)and so the thought was.....
there is something about sitting there and having to come up with something totally about yourself- -you know what I mean there? I am used to paying more attention to what someone else is saying
but it is a wonderful thing to be the center of someone's attention, especially to be the attention of a T who becomes so very importantand I am amazed at the things I start to talk about and the ways they seem to relate to one another
somedays I have nothing to say it seems....
just some anxiety that just floats there

I've been writing a selfportrait, and realizing that it's almost impossible for me to write about myself. I'm so shocked by this-- but I really can't think of anything to say. I feel like a cipher-- kind of like if someone else says something, I can talk about that-- but I'm just empty-- without any qualities, or desires, or character-- other than bad things. I can say those-- I'm afraid of x, or unable to do y, or a failure at z. That comes to mind easily. But nothing positive-- nothing that would make anyone want to know someone, or would make me feel that I might be worthwhile-- other than that I'm trying-- even if I'm not succeeding or even if I'm a failure.
But that isn't much-- so I guess maybe in therapy, I always talk about what's wrong with me-- and it's an endless topic-- but if I didn't have that, I'd be struck dumb.

I can think of a lot of positive qualities you have just from knowing you here on babble. You are bright, insightful, always helpful, and courageous, and I can go on, but I feel badly that you don't see your good qualities.
