But T says I CAN go to a different station now, but I don't know how to get there and I keep winding up where you are too.

But I also think that the feelings of death are a natural byproduct of therapy (for some of us). We fall to pieces with T and then put ourselves back together.

Sorry for the dreadful metaphor but I really understand. Please be careful and safe. There is a beautiful world out there--and I think it's the natural world.

Blessings.
I'm sorry that you can relate so well....but it's comforting to know that I'm not alone. My T says that I'm conditioned to ruminate about unpleasantness. It's a habit. It felt awful to hear that, probably because it's true...and embarrassing.

I sometimes think to myself, why can't I look to the future with more hope? I don't have the answer.
