Idk what I was after either-but I noticed that I maybe ended up deciding that effort was not worth being put into me. That one was waaayyy down there, unknown to me, I didn't even feel it until I got outta the slump in which you speak. My guess is you actually have A LOT going on in your life, more than you give yourself credit for.
Thanks for your support for others, btw!

What got me outta it was a lot of talking about what I was feeling, the stresses I was going through-life didn't even have to get any easier, all I needed was someone supportive and who understood the extent of what was on my heart. Once I released all that, suddenly I had all this energy cuz I had taken care of myself.

I'm not sure what your experiences entail, but if nothing else I feel ya yo;
oh and just thought of something....the more self-conscious I am about posting, the strong the slump would hit me...so if you are also struggling with shyness, that could be a factor as well and that kinda thing has to be talked about and worked through too-but heya, surround yourself with supportive peeps!

soup dragon,
take care,

Thank-you for this - it does strike a chord with me and also what you said about a lot going on in my life - yes I think there is. And actually on reflection I think for the first time, my T pushed a little to get me to talk about past events which has not brought anything to my consciousness, but has kind of set off some deep rumblings in my head - maybe that is why I am feeling this way. One of the things my T highlighted was the fact that my cousin was murdered and how that may have made events that I may have experienced insignificant in my mind as they weren't as bad as being murdered.

Also my T keeps saying that I haven't shared everything, but I think I have - I wonder what I am missing?
