My therapist has said this to me as well. It's hard to reconcile what I sometimes feel inside with someone telling me "I don't think there's is anything wrong with you". However, if I preface that statement with "given all that you've been through...." it actually makes me feel a lot better.

It helps to put things in perspective that anyone in my situation would feel this way, and that there really is nothing abnormal about it.

That doesn't mean that I should/or want to continue to carry all of this with me, but in my own way, at this time - I'm okay.
