That IS scary and overwhelming. Especially because no matter the number of bad moments (what/how ever they are) that step was at least familiar. We're used to just "things being that way". And then in T we hear about "being stuck" and "comfort zone" and "need courage to confront challenge; dont just wallow in hopelessness and have the past (people/places/particulars) control you"... Maybe our T's are on the same wavelength of "you're more than the sum of parts and labels and any diagnosis' that could be put on you. You DO have a lot of potential". Still, thats just - WOAH and ...... Sorry if im projecting, and thinking about how i got similar feedback today, and am just numb & confused & terrified, and could be hijacking your thread and making a big mess, but....i can relate to the fear and uncertainty about positive feedback too. Like "Aanndd..." or "what am i supposed to do with what youve said" or "Now what "
....Yea that was a lot....so ima provide some of these - - take the rest of my junk and **** i have strewn around cluttering up this space and go..... Again im sorry for the mess and do hope you still get a lot of great support as you progress...
